Schrader LPV Cabernet Sauvignon Las Piedras Vineyard 2013 750ml

From 2013, one of the most celebrated vintages in modern Napa history, Schrader's LPV shows the earthier, more savory side of the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena. Like every LPV, it is made from Cabernet Sauvignon clone 337. James Suckling praised hot stone, iodine, blackcurrant and blackberry aromas, super-polished tannins and touches of white pepper and salt, summing it up as "precise and focused." Wine Advocate described a meaty, dusty style with underbrush, blackcurrant and spicy oak, with less flamboyance than some Schrader wines, while Wine Spectator highlighted a powerful core of blackberry, anise, licorice and crushed rock. Drinking well now, it should hold through the late 2030s.
