2005 Schrader Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard CCS

The 2005 Schrader CCS is an opulent wine with phenomenal intensity, complexity, and expressive Napa Valley Cabernet character. Super-rich and smooth, the massive fruit core shows an abundance of crème de cassis and ripe blackberries accented by enticing layers of creamy vanilla, licorice, and cedar with a fine thread of minerality. The wine is full-bodied with supple, well-woven tannins and a velvety texture that generously fills the palate, satisfies, and gives way to the spectacularly long-lasting finish. A blend of clones 4 and 6, this refined wine was aged for 18 months in a mix of 100% new Darnajou and Taransaud French oak barrels.

Please note: This wine will ship in mid-February.
