2016 Schrader Cellars CCS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

(98 Points) A barrel sample coming from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, block C1 planted to clone 4, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon CCS has a very deep purple-black color and vibrant nose of crushed blueberries and black cherries with touches of mocha, beef dripping and cloves plus a hint of underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate gives up pure, intense black fruit flavors and a solid backbone of grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy.  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
