Wijnbeschrijving | The color is a warm garnet red, reminiscent of velvet in the sun. When swirled in the glass, fine tears form quickly, and aromas of black raspberry and plum waft from the glass. Within moments, a halo of olive, dried earth and vanilla begins to fill the nose, very appealing. |
Crafted from the famed Rutherford Bench, this single-clone stunner shows just how refined Napa Cabernet can be when focused on precision and place. Bell Wine Cellars, founded by Anthony Bell—one of Napa’s foremost experts in Cabernet clones—has spent decades perfecting small-lot wines that highlight individual expressions like Clone 7.
This 2019 vintage delivers deep cassis, black raspberry, and roasted plum, layered with dried herbs, olive, cedar, and warm baking spice. Aged in 100% French oak, it's structured yet approachable, offering classic Rutherford dust tannins and a plush, expansive finish.
Vivino reviewers are emphatic: “Best cab I've ever had. Bold yet smooth. Great balance and tannins. Great finish.” Another adds: “Very fruit-forward with fine, drying tannins and a long finish.” This is serious pedigree Napa Cabernet at a fraction of what others from the region and vintage cost. Napa collectors, this one’s a steal.
