Schrader RBS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (750ML)

96-98 Points, Wine Advocate: "A barrel sample coming from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, blocks B1, B2 and E2 planted to clone 337, the very deep purple-black 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS To Kalon Vineyard opens with sage, cedar chest and black pepper with a core of black cherries and mulberries plus touches of tar, mossy bark and truffles. Medium-bodied, firm and fresh, the palate features great purity and vivacity with some mineral notions coming through on the finish." 12/17

97-98 Points, James Suckling: "This is very tight and focused with a precise tannin texture and a blueberry, blackberry and violet character. Some minerals, too. Full-bodied, compressed and finely polished." 5/18

95 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "Bold açaiberry, boysenberry and blueberry compote notes give this a showy profile, with freshness and definition to match, as anise, violet and black tea details chime in. Graphite hints gird the finish, achieving balance in the end. Best from 2021 through 2035."

97-100 Points, www.jebdunnuck.com: "One of the more opulent, sexy wines in the lineup, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard RBS boasts a deep purple color and a huge, sweet nose of blue fruits, white flowers, cassis, and spice. This full-bodied 2016 has incredible purity of fruit, a rich, layered texture, no sense of weight or heaviness, and sweet tannin. It's going to flirt with perfection on release and cruise for 20+ years." 12/17
