Schrader Cellars
Colesworthy Beckstoffer Las Piedras Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a profound example, rich nose of leather and cassis. Heavily layered palate of dark plum, black cherry compote, undergrowth. Likely to score higher in 3-4 years, phenomenal!

First time having this Schrader, 💯 from Jeb review, too early for me to give a perfect score but still a fantastic wine only made in Mags.
A barrel selection released only in magnum, similar to the Old Sparky release, yet only from the Las Piedras Vineyard, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Colesworthy Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard is another perfect wine from this team, and it’s one of those wine where I wish I could pour ever reader a taste. Offering up thrillingly pure notes of crème de cassis, perfectly ripe blueberries, chocolate, and a crazy, liquid rock-like minerality, it hits the palate with a full-bodied, powerful style that carries tons of richness and depth, yet still just glides over the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness. It’s certainly one of the greatest Napa Cabernet Sauvignons I’ve ever tasted. As with the base Las Piedras Vineyard, do your best to hold off for a few years.
