"As it turns out, Cosentino's Secret Clone Vineyard has neither a hidden government laboratory nor 'suitcase clones' within it. The vineyard does contain extremely old Cabernet Sauvignon vines that produce grapes of uncommon richness and depth. There is no information on exactly how old the vines are, or where they came from – that will remain Cosentino's secret – but the wine reveals all that's necessary: That this vineyard is producing some of Napa Valley's most interesting and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. These are gorgeous wines you'll want to hide in your cellar. Whether you share the secret or not is up to you."
