Schrader Cellars
LPV Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Nose is closed. Palate is a bit green. After air nose is fleeting. Palate is a hint of green. Very feminine. Surprising. Not sure if I like this or not. Lilacs? Elegant. Old skool? Licorice finish. Cranberry. Some bitterness. ... ok I’m projecting. I want this to be old school Napa. It’s just mediocre. Life sucks. Drink French wine at 1/6 the price.

Jul 29th, 2019Compared to the Anthem winery LPV wine, this one has just about an identical nose. The nose of this vineyard just seems to be a "purple" kind of note. But, the wine seemed to be very different. This wine was a little on the lean side. Entered with black cherry and a hint of fig and dark chocolate in the middle. Finished with a moderate youthful tannic bite. The sweeter side of this which it probably displayed 2 or so years ago has started to soften, and is starting to allow some more interesting notes in the future. Probably one of the more balanced LPV wines I've had to date without a doubt, but it failed to hit the upper rung of wines today. The Rudd Samantha's and 2005 Spoto Private Reserve stole the show. Regarding this wine, I think it's probably a good idea to lock it up for 5 years to see what it has in 2023. Considering what people pay for these bottles, you've got nothing to lose by aging it in this case.

Amazing nose. Wine not as good. Still great feel but it just falls off a little.
