This replacement wine, crafted by Spearhead winemaker Grant Stanley from Oregon fruit, is delicious. The Clone 777 is a juicy, mouthwatering experience, bursting with ripe black cherry. The palate is silky and dense, with black cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate, accented by floral notes, dried herbs, and a hint of exotic spice. The vibrant freshness continues through the finish, enhancing and supporting the structure. Impressive and ready to enjoy, and it's an amazing value.
