Clone 338 Special
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville
We are so thrilled to share our favorite barrel of our 2017 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon with you. This wine is a 100 percent Clone 338 Cabernet Sauvignon from the amazing Rancho Pequeño Vineyard (formerly known as III Michaels Estate). Carefully selected and optically sorted fruit was crafted into this wine in a gravity-flow, state-of-the-art facility. Aged 18 months in fine-grain, thin-stave 60 percent new French oak barrels. The explosive black fruit and violet aromas with intense, concentrated black currant flavors will leave you wanting more.
