Schrader LPV Cabernet Sauvignon Las Piedras Vineyard 2012 750ml

Schrader's 2012 LPV captures a generous, abundant Napa vintage through the lens of the gravelly Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena. James Suckling awarded it 98 points, describing very rich, dense blueberry and chocolate character, a silky, full-bodied palate and real depth, and calling it "elegance and beauty for a Schrader." Wine Spectator found bold dark berry, cedar and nutmeg with espresso, mocha and black licorice, while Wine Advocate compared its charcoal and scorched-earth character to a supercharged Graves. Grown from clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon, it is now more than a decade old and in a lovely drinking window, with the balance to continue through the mid-2030s.
