Schrader T6 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

A big, muscular, powerful wine, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard T6 boasts a monster note of blackcurrants, fresh plums, scorched earth, tobacco, and chocolate. This all carries to a full-bodied 2019 with the ripe, savory, concentrated style of the vintage, building tannins, no shortage of fruit, and a great, great finish. It’s certainly one of the biggest, richest, more structured wines in the lineup, yet the balance is spot on and everything is in the right places. It’s going to take at least 7-8 years for this puppy to shed some of its considerable baby fat and hit maturity, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it evolve for 20 or 30 years. Maturity: 2028-2059. Score – 99. (jebdunnuck.com, Dec. 21, 2021)
