Schrader CCS Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Oakville 2005 750ml

Fred Schrader's CCS bottling comes from the famed Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, one of the most storied Cabernet sites in California, and is made from Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Clones 6 and 337. Only about 175 cases of the 2005 were produced. Robert Parker awarded it a perfect 100 points, calling it "absolutely out of this world" and noting licorice, cedar, crème de cassis, blackberry and graphite over sweet, supple tannins. Super-rich and velvety, with an opulent, full-bodied texture and a towering finish, it's now about 20 years old and drinking beautifully, with years of life ahead.
