2009 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon CCS Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Oakville (750ml)

"96+ out of 100 - The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon CCS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard comes across as big, tight and powerful. This is one of the more reticent, inward of the 2009 Schraders. Tar, licorice, menthol and violets are some of the notes that wrap around the intense, virile finish. Today the CCS is a touch compact. It will merit a higher score if the fruit fills out a little more. CCS is clone 4 from the C1 block. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029." - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate
