Schrader, Napa Valley, T6 Beckstoffer To Kalon, Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

98 points Wine Advocate The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon T6, which is clone 6, offers more barbecue smoke, roasted meats and oodles of creme de cassis and blackberry. It is rich, full-bodied, intense, and stunningly pure and well-balanced. This is another tour de force from the Schraders and Thomas Rivers Brown. (RP) (10/2015) 94 points Wine Spectator A mix of spicy, jazzy mocha, vanilla and espresso notes from oak are evident at the outset, with a core of licorice, dark and red berry, chocolate, savory herb and underbrush flavors. Flexes considerable tannic strength on the finish. (JL) (11/2016)
