Product Description
DR100 The 2021 vintage release of LPV Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the last year Schrader Cellars will source grapes from this iconic, rocky Napa Valley site. A robust red, the 15.4% alcohol level is hardly evident because of the wine's impeccable balance on the palate. It boasts a beautiful mineral intensity that lifts out of the glass, tinged with smoky wild herbs and black currant fruits. The medium to full-bodied palate has natural elegance in its super-fine-grained cocoa-nib tannins. It is counterbalanced by an attractive layer of ironstone minerality and entirely supported by a generous backbone of racy acidity. The finish is extravagantly long, fueled by refreshing acid tension and a mineral edge. Succulent and well-built, it is a Cabernet for the ages. Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown has crafted a masterpiece, and it's a beautiful wine for this label's swan song from such an underrated site.
