Part-two of the clonal project sees clone 327 get its chance as a standalone. Older vines, planted in 1996, 10 years before the clone 214 version and picked later than its clonal sidekick, but still treated the same way: from optical sorting to 16 months in neutral oak. This wine shows a more powerful backbone than its counterpart with pencil shavings and spice mingling with big tobacco and black fruit notes, while sprinkling in black pepper on the finish … This is more steak night wine than sit and sip.  Price: $35.00 – Rating: ****+
