2019 LPV Cabernet Sauvignon

From the vineyard's rocky C Block, planted to Clone 337, Schrader's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV boasts soaring perfumes of roses and violets alongside red and yellow cherries. The 100% new Darnajou and Taransaud oak has been completely absorbed into the wine. Full-bodied but firm, silky yet structured, this wine reveals incredible poise and balance, showing admirable power yet lingering elegantly on the long finish.

Almost pure perfection in a glass, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard comes from a more rocky vineyard located on the west side of St. Helena. Black fruits, savory herbs, flowers, and crushed rock notes give way to a full-bodied, flawlessly balanced, seamless 2019. It has the ripe yet elegant style of the vintage (as well as the vineyard), ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish.

Lots of lifted red and blue fruits, violets, bay leaf, and bouquet garni notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV, a concentrated yet elegant 2019 that builds nicely with time in the glass. Coming from a Grand Cru site outside of St. Helena, it shows the classic Schrader richness and depth yet is just as much about elegance and finesse. 96-98
