Description

Beaulieu Vineyard Clone 6 is an exceptional selection of Cabernet Sauvignon that produces high quality fruit of intensely expressive flavor. Grown in our famed Rutherford vineyards, Clone 6 grapes are a key component of our classic Reserve Cabernets. Each year, our winemakers preserve the unique character of Clone 6 in an exclusive, very limited bottling. This highly extracted wine presents rich, muscular notes and aromas of dried black currants that frame an exotic palate of ripe wild berries, coffee, anise and cedar.

Tasting Notes: This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is aged 22 months in new French Oak giving red berry fruit aromas and flavors of black cherry, cassis, and briary smoked strawberry interwoven between more floral notes of violet and jasmine blossom. Crème Brûlée and caramel notes also come through from the toasty oak nuances leading to an extraordinary lengthy mouthwatering finish. The seamless satin-like tannins are round and lush as well as incredibly focused.
