Schrader 2019 Beckstoffer to Kalon

Exemplifying elegance and finesse, the 2019 Schrader Beckstoffer To Kalon, known as RBS, is a sublime representation of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted from pure clone 337 Cabernet, the wine reveals a harmonious blend of blue and purple fruits that seamlessly intertwine to create a magnificent symphony of flavors. From the first sip, the palate is treated to an abundance of cassis, wild blueberries, and roasted plums, accompanied by intricate notes of violets, licorice, tobacco leaf, and fragrant earth. With a medium- to full-bodied profile, the wine's silky tannins and velvety texture make it remarkably approachable in its youth, while the underlying firm backbone promises enhanced richness with additional cellar aging.

Robert Parker - 95+ Points

"From a separate single block planted to Clone 4, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard features a lovely mix of red and black fruit and dried spices. It's full-bodied but not as rich or supple as some of the other Schrader bottlings this vintage, just nicely balanced and steady as a rock, with a long, velvety and slightly cedary finish."
