Lot #850. Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard CCS 2010

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 98 RP.
"A wine that seems to hit all of the sweet spots on my palate is the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard CCS made from clone 4. It possesses about the same amount of alcohol as the other wines (14.5%), and is aged 20 months in 100% new oak, but it reveals an opulence, voluptuousness and a seamless haute couture fashion. There is something Pomerol-like in the 2010 CCS that I have not noticed in previous vintages. That may be due to the upfront, appealing, stunningly rich, voluptuous style. This is a Cabernet Sauvignon of great nobility and character that, despite its precociousness, should age for 25+ years. Sadly, the production of 156 cases pales in comparison to the 520 cases made in 2012." Wine Advocate #209, Dec 2013
Provenance: The Calabrais Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
