September 8, 2013 – Wine: 2004 Bell Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon

My sister was visiting from Denver so I decided to bring out something special to sip on.  Nobody wanted a lot to drink so I brought a half-bottle of this Clone 6 Cabernet.  I am so glad that I did.  We each had a substantial taste of this wonderful wine, enough to appreciate what was in the glass.  This wine is holding up magnificently and continues to develop.  The balance is spectacular, with great body, good acids, and richness.  I noted flavors of red and black fruits, baking spices, leather, and well-controlled minerals.  While I no longer have any half-bottles, I am looking forward to opening the 750ml in the next year or two.
