"More limited edition offerings are the engraved bottlings of Clone 4 and Clone 6. The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6 is the lightest in alcohol of the group at 13.9%. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as a classic bouquet of licorice, creme de cassis and spice box. This medium to full-bodied 2003 appears to be more youthful than its siblings, with slightly greater density, richness, purity and personality. Full-bodied, young and impressive, it could actually benefit from a few more years of cellaring, and is capable of lasting 15-20 more years, proving the winery’s point about these single clonal bottlings."
