Long Description Bell Clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon is a harmonious expression of Napa Valley, uniting fruit from two exceptional vineyard sites to showcase both depth and balance. This blend brings together a heritage, dry-farmed vineyard in St. Helena and the renowned Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford, combining the red-fruited vibrancy of St. Helena with the darker, more structured character of Rutherford benchland fruit. Clone 7, also known as the historic Concannon clone, is celebrated for its consistent fruit intensity, varietal character, and subtle herbal complexity. In this wine, it reveals a layered personality that is both inviting and nuanced, capturing the essence of Napa Valley Cabernet through careful vineyard selection and thoughtful blending. Crafted with minimal intervention, the fruit is hand-harvested and gently handled to preserve its natural integrity. Fermented and aged in French oak, with a majority of new barrels, the wine develops richness and textural depth while maintaining clarity and freshness. Limited racking and the absence of fining allow the wine to evolve naturally, resulting in refined tannins and a seamless integration of flavors. In the glass, it shows a deep, inky color with expressive aromas of blue fruits, berry compote, and delicate floral notes, underscored by hints of forest floor. The palate is layered and complex, offering ripe blue and red fruits alongside subtle herbal tones, freshly milled oak, and a touch of chaparral. Firm yet supple tannins provide structure, while a long, balanced finish highlights both density and elegance. Bell Clone 7 is a beautifully composed Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects both its diverse vineyard origins and Bell Wine Cellars’ dedication to craftsmanship, delivering a wine of depth, character, and lasting finesse. Tasting Notes The inky color in the glass draws you in with aromas of blue fruits, floral hints/potpourri, berry compote and faint hint of forest floor. The palate delivers blue fruits, floral cues, freshly-milled oak and chaparral herbal notes. With ethereal and subtle complexity, this wine displays a long finish, with great balance, density, and firm but supple tannins.
