1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6.............................3.0 liter 449.99<br />
“Delicious elegant, rich, vibrant and complex, with deep, sharply focused, ripe<br />
plum, black cherry, blackberry, spice and light cedary oak shadings. Best from<br />
2001 through 2007. 300 cases made. “ <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated 94/100<br />
1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6.............................3.0 liter 549.99<br />
“Ripe, rich, smooth and complex, with deeply concentrated currant, black cherry,<br />
herb, spice and vanilla, and a wonderful aftertaste that keeps pumping out the flavors.<br />
The tannins, while firm, are physiologically ripe and supple for a wine this<br />
young. Tempting now, better in 2000. The first bottling of the Clone 6, which was<br />
previously a component of the Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. 250 cases<br />
made.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated 93/100<br />
“This limited bottling from BV’s new Signet Collection series of wines (all expensive<br />
and made in small quantities) is an immensely impressive offering. The color<br />
is a saturated dark ruby/purple. The wine, from an old clone of Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon, is a rich, full-bodied, powerful yet harmonious Cabernet with gobs of<br />
black currant fruit, a nice touch of oak, and outstanding ripeness and purity. It is<br />
also long in the mouth, with a youthful, unevolved personality. This should prove<br />
to be an impressive, long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2001-<br />
2015.” Robert Parker, rated 91/100<br />

1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve ..............3.0 liter 449.99<br />
“Really fruity, with an abundance of raspberry, violet and berry character. Fullbodied,<br />
with a velvety tannin structure and a long berry and toasted oak aftertaste.<br />
The oak is a bit dominant, so give it time to mellow.—Georges de Latour Private<br />
Reserve vertical. Best after 2004. 12,000 cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated<br />
93/100<br />
1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve .................3.0 liter 499.99<br />
“One of the most prestigious wines in California, the 1994 version shows and<br />
impressive core of spicy currant and mineral-laced Cabernet flavors emerging from<br />
chewy tannins, picking up cedary oak, coffee and sage notes. Most enjoyable if cellared<br />
a bit. Best from 1999 through 2004. 13,500 cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator,<br />
rated 93/100<br />
“This is one of the finest efforts from Beaulieu in some time. Not since the mideighties<br />
has BV made a Private Reserve Cabernet with such richness and potential.<br />
The wine boasts a dark ruby/purple color, an attractive nose of sweet, toasty new<br />
oak, and ripe red and black fruits. In the mouth, there is a layered texture, fullbodied<br />
richness, excellent purity, and sweet tannin in the long finish. This wine<br />
can be drunk now as well as over the next 15-20 years. Bravo to BV!” Robert<br />

“Tight in structure while plush in texture, offering rich plum, dark chocolate, cinnamon,<br />
spice and earth flavors that linger deliciously on the long, complex finish—this<br />
is one seductive California red. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,<br />
Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2005. 14,500 cases made.”<br />
