Schrader Cellars
T6 Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
I can see the 💯 rating from Parker, still needs a couple years for the nose to get there. The old Sparky & Las Piedras stood out a bit more, less fruit & more complexity
Coming from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, block D2 planted to clone 6, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon T6 sports a deep garnet-purple color and fantastically fragrant nose of Sichuan pepper, unsmoked cigars, potpourri, red loam and forest floor over a core of black forest cake, blackberry preserves and baked plums plus touches of dried Mediterranean herbs and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is full-on seductive, with wonderfully perfumed layers emerging through the frame of very finely knit yet firm tannins, finishing with epic length and depth. 286 cases produced.

Unfairly delicious: smooth liquid velvet in a glass
