Each year we hand select the best barrel blend of each clone from our Cabernet Sauvignon lots. Using 337 and SEE clones will provide the fresh berry and blueberry on the palate and aromatics. Clone 15 provides intense structure with copious amounts of round tannins. All of these profiles are underlined by the workings of fine French oak aiding in powerful mouth-feel and finish.
