This very limited bottling of 2014 Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates the unique characteristics of wine made from vines planted to this single, outstanding clone during an exceptional vintage. A deep garnet-purple, this Cabernet Sauvignon's expressive aromas and generous, fruit-expressive flavors are filled with layers of juicy black cherry, black currant, and plum, followed by baking spice notes of nutmeg, clove, cedar and tobacco alongside a subtle brambly or savage (hence the grape's name) dried herb note on the finish. The wine is fresh and lively, with beautiful balance and acidity, interwoven into a Cabernet of great intensity and full, round and rich flavors which are structured by firm, yet supple, tannins that are nicely balanced with vanilla and oak spice from new French oak barrels. While enjoyable now, this wine will continue to develop complexity in the bottle and will age well for another 20+ years when stored at ideal cellar temperatures.
