About the Schrader Colesworthy 2016 6L Imperial
Schrader 'Colesworthy' Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a exceptionally pure, muscular, and deeply concentrated luxury Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon crafted by acclaimed winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. Bottled exclusively in magnum formats, it is produced from a meticulous barrel selection of Clone 337 vines grown in the gravelly soils of the historic Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena. In the glass, it presents a deep garnet-purple hue. The complex nose opens with intense aromas of crème de cassis, preserved plums, and ripe blueberries, accented by savory hints of crushed rock minerality, black truffles, star anise, mocha, and new leather. On the palate, this full-bodied red is powerful and seamlessly structured, featuring a dense core of black fruit and spice underpinned by polished, fine-grained tannins and vibrant energy that leads to a long, majestic finish.
Food Pairing: Prime dry-aged ribeye steak, roasted rack of lamb, braised beef short ribs, roasted venison tenderloin, and aged clothbound cheddar cheese.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Colesworthy opens with ripe, rich, bold crème de cassis, preserved plums and baked blueberries scents with hints of cumin seeds, star anise, mincemeat pie, mocha and new leather with wafts of tobacco, cedar and black tea. The full-bodied palate is very firm and muscular with bags of black fruits and spices, finishing very long.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
A ripe, showy style, with warm waves of cassis, plum sauce and raspberry pâte de fruit taking center stage, laced with singed apple wood, sweet tobacco and anise notes. The finish delivers a bold kick of energetic fruit and a creamy dollop of toast. Best from 2020 through 2034. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 129 cases made.
