2006 Schrader "Beckstoffer To Kalon" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the more backward efforts is the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Schrader. It is dense and full-bodied, but holding more in reserve. As I wrote last year, this is a fascinating portfolio of 100% Cabernet Sauvignons all of them from Beckstoffer-owned vineyards, including the To-Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and one wine from the George III Vineyard in Rutherford... I think the 2006s are arguably the finest wines of the vintage, and the 2007s appear to be as profound. (RP)
