2016 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon ”Old Sparky” Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard 1×1.5L

Robert Parker 100

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Sparky is very deep purple-black in color with a wonderfully pure nose of blackcurrant cordial, blackberry preserves and black cherry pie with nuances of dried bay leaves, dusty soil, garrigue and new leather plus touches of unsmoked cigars and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, concentrated and jam-packed with flavors, the palate is pure hedonism with a solid line of ripe tannins and great freshness, finishing very long. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 10/29/2018]
