Schrader Cellars LPV Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

$289

100 Points Parker - limited                                 Limited new release from Schrader Cellars. 99 Points Robert Parker: The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon LPV is from clone 337 from the Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena. This shows Mission Haut-Brion-like characteristics as it has in the past, with crushed rock, wet gravel, scorched earth, blackberry and blueberry fruit. It is clearly one of my favorites of this entire tasting. It has 14.5% natural alcohol and was aged in 90% new Darnajou and 10% new Taransaud barrels. This is a killer effort.

Nice bottle. Not as good as the 13. IMO. Cheers . Structure was there, just fell a bit short on the length/ finish.

New Yorks au poivre as we celebrate the life of an amazing producer. We're deeply saddened by their decision to sell out

2012 vintage. Take you pick, Delectable, each one is brilliant in its own unique way. Maybe a slight edge to Bryant's Bettina if I had to pick a favorite.

Pop and pour. On the nose: black cherry, currant, oaky vanilla, anise, pencil lead. Taste: Schrader dense/rich, smooth wine with black fruit, currants, spice, oak, fig and a plumy cedar medium plus finish. Not a CCS or RBS, but I would not dump and spit! Cheers!

Which red would you prefer? Both have their respective places in culinary history. On the left, big, bold and beautiful. Incredible finish, that lingers forever. On the right, simple timeless elegance. How do you decide?

Go big or go home! Perhaps the diametric opposite to the 60 yr old wine this was pared with. Excellent with a short decant

This is really tasty! Blueberry, blackberry, hints of blood orange, subtle nutmeg and vanilla. Prime drinking right now, no need to wait.
