2013 Schrader Cellars, CCS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

RP100 - "There is something ethereal about the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon CCS, a wine that I tend to give more perfect scores to than of the other Schrader offerings. This is clone 4 from a special block of the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and it always seems to have these incredible, explosive aromatics ranging from blueberry to blackberry to cassis to spring flowers and lead pencil shavings. It�s always one of the more seductive wines early on, with sweet, velvety tannins, a plush, succulent mouthfeel, full-bodied splendor and majestic texture. This is a killer effort of great intensity and presence. Drink it over then next 25-30 years." RP Oct 2018

JL100 Speechless is one way of looking at it. Opaque in color, light might reflect off this wine, but it's not getting through. The intoxicating perfume is all about the truffle, smoke, black cherry liqueur, blue fruits and wet earth notes. The texture is polished velvet, with the weight of motor oil and a fruit filled finish that remains for more than 60 seconds. This is a benchmark style of Cabernet Sauvignon.
