Schrader Cellars
Colesworthy Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a profound example, rich nose of leather and cassis. Heavily layered palate of dark plum, black cherry compote, undergrowth. Likely to score higher in 3-4 years, phenomenal!

WNH NY, 2021.
From magnum.
Very similar to the Old Sparky. Smokey nose with hints of maple syrup leads into cherry compote. Powerful tannins add to the layers of black, mature fruits and linze torte. Laser-focused finish. Exceptional.
@Mike R, super duper gift, bro. Thank you!

This was my WOTN - amazing juice - traditional LPV / Schrader but with a nice extra kick of something else
En Mag
This wine has loads of deep, rich, sweet dark berries and vibrant, chocolate covered boysenberry finish - 2 hour decant and bam - singing loud and clear - nicely integrated silky tannins - finish was unique but not as long as I wanted or I would have gave a 9.9
The 12 is really ready to drink but might get even better is a few years
A guilty like smile - sort of like the cat that shallowed the canary smile as in the carton with tweetie bird

First time having this Schrader, 💯 from Jeb review, too early for me to give a perfect score but still a fantastic wine only made in Mags.
A barrel selection released only in magnum, similar to the Old Sparky release, yet only from the Las Piedras Vineyard, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Colesworthy Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard is another perfect wine from this team, and it’s one of those wine where I wish I could pour ever reader a taste. Offering up thrillingly pure notes of crème de cassis, perfectly ripe blueberries, chocolate, and a crazy, liquid rock-like minerality, it hits the palate with a full-bodied, powerful style that carries tons of richness and depth, yet still just glides over the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness. It’s certainly one of the greatest Napa Cabernet Sauvignons I’ve ever tasted. As with the base Las Piedras Vineyard, do your best to hold off for a few years.

Was a great wine but probably not their best vintage. Overshadowed a bit by other wines of the night

Jul 17th, 2022Schrader Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Colesworthy. Out of magnum--nice wine, but just not my style. Sweet dark fruit with a sweet vanilla oak component (caymus like).
