Schrader T6 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Oakville 2013 750ml

T6 is Schrader's clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, the historic site at the heart of Napa Valley's Cabernet tradition. Clone 6 is prized for small clusters and intense, structured wines, and the warm, even and widely acclaimed 2013 vintage plays to those strengths. Wine Advocate awarded it 98 points, describing barbecue smoke, roasted meats, crème de cassis and blackberry in a rich, full-bodied, stunningly pure wine, and calling it "another tour de force from the Schraders and Thomas Rivers Brown." Wine Spectator noted mocha, licorice, dark berries and savory herbs with considerable tannic strength. Drinking well now, it should age gracefully through the late 2030s.
