Beaulieu Vineyard 1997 Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Clone 4
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Beaulieu Vineyard / Napa Valley

Full-priced, full-bodied, and the full complement of just about all you want in a Rutherford Cab. Port-like aromas lead a pure and layered palate that features cassis, cherry, tobacco and cocoa. What an array of flavors, and then it finishes with dusty tannins and a tight grip. The gang at BV sure know how to craft Cabernet.
