What reviewers say
“$26.99 I have rated this before. I don’t know if it’s the extra aging on it or what.this wine is so soft that it’s like swish it clouds in your mouth. But it lacks almost nothing.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Aromas of ripe black cherries and the tantalizing dusty smell of French oak. A delicious, textured mid-palate of plum and dark fruits sprinkled with black pepper meets soft, sizable tannins for a smooth and silky finish.
Gibbs Three Clones Cabernet Sauvignon is an American red from Napa Valley.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 253 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 264 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Gibbs Three Clones Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 253.
