Schrader T6 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Oakville 2009 750ml

T6 is Schrader Cellars' bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon clone 6 from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, the historic site that has produced some of Napa Valley's most celebrated Cabernets. The 2009 vintage brought a long season and generous, ripe fruit, and this wine shows it with dark blackberry and blueberry fruit layered with tar, smoke, licorice, graphite, loamy earth, cedar and hints of mocha and espresso. Wine Advocate described it as having "it all," with fruit building to a huge, polished finish, while firm tannins give the wine shape and grip. Now more than fifteen years old, it is drinking beautifully and should hold through the mid-2030s.
