Gibbs 2023 Three Clones Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

The 2023 Gibbs Three Clones Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, using clones 6, 15, and 337, which contribute layers of complexity and structure to the wine . Some bottlings also include small percentages of Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Merlot, adding further depth and nuance to the final blend . Aromatically, the wine opens with ripe black cherries, dusty French oak, raspberry ganache, violets, and vanilla, creating an inviting and expressive bouquet . On the palate, it delivers plum, dark fruits, black pepper, cocoa, bitter chocolate, and dried herbs, supported by soft but sizable tannins that give the wine a smooth, silky, and extended finish . The wine’s full‑bodied fruit, earthy undertones, and well‑integrated oak contribute to a profile that is both powerful and refined, with the structure to age for seven or more years .

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with beef, lamb, poultry, game meats such as venison, and mature hard cheeses, all of which complement its bold fruit, spice, and tannic backbone . Its richness and depth also make it a strong match for dishes featuring roasted mushrooms, herb‑crusted meats, or dark‑chocolate accents.
