falstaff: 100 Punkte 

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Edelholznuancen, zarte Lakritze, dunkles Nugat, feines Cassis, Walderdbeeren, ein Hauch von schwarzen Oliven, mit Luft floraler Touch. Stoffig, rund und elegant, etwas Nugat, opulente Textur, feiner Säurebogen, mineralisch-salzig, engmaschig im Abgang, sehr intensiv und straff, im Abgang, noch sehr verschlossen, Am Gaumen ganz das Gegenteil von dem, was die Nase bereits an Zugänglichkeit verspricht, weißer Pfeffer, bleibt minutenlang haften. (Trinken/Lagern +60)

This elite wine in the Schrader lineup is a selection of the best barrels from three cabernet clones planted in the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville. Ultra ripe in flavor, creamy in texture, with tannins that are soft at first but firm up on the finish. Generous in chocolate, black cherries, blueberries and those broad, melted tannins. Very full-bodied at 15.5% alcohol, but it has inherent acidity for balance. Tasted from a magnum. Drinkable now, but best from 2030. (06/2024)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Old Sparky is all Cabernet Sauvignon that's 50% from the D2 block that made the T6 Cuv e (this is clone 6) and the equal parts from RBS and Schrader releases. Released only in magnum, it reveals a dense purple hue as well as incredible aromatics of red, blue, and black fruits interwoven with graphite, a liqueur of rocks like minerality, and spring flowers. It's a killer bottle of wine that offers full-bodied richness, a deep, powerful mid-palate, incredible tannins, and a finish that won't quit. This beauty is going to blow you away anytime over the coming 25-30 years. It's heavenly stuff. (12/2023)

This delivers a gorgeous set of boysenberry, mulberry and blackberry pâte de fruit notes set seamlessly into a bed of melted licorice, iris, ink and anise. An apple wood frame and graphite spine harness and support this through the lengthy finish as the fruit lingers luxuriously. It will be difficult to lay off of this in its early years for its fruit, but patience is a virtue. Drink now through 2045. 590 cases made.

A best-barrel selection and blend chosen and made by Thomas Rivers Brown, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Sparky Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard essentially takes the characters of the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard bottling and ratchets up the intensity. Raspberries, blackberries and black cherries cascade over a base of deep Oakville loam and dried spices. It's full-bodied, rich, concentrated and almost creamy in texture, finishing lush and long. Bottled in magnum.
