Lot #58. Schrader Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard MMVII "Old Sparky" 2007

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 100 RP.
"The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Old Sparky (a magnums-only blend of clone 4 from two separate blocks, clone 6, and clone 337) is another perfect wine. Ridiculous levels of concentration, without heaviness, extraordinary opulence, and amazing exuberance and flamboyance are found in this beauty along with abundant notes of creme de cassis, cedarwood, spring flowers, lead pencil shavings, and a hint of hot pebbles. It also displays outstanding purity, depth, and full-bodied power. There is a strong undercurrent of minerality in all of these wines which sets 2007 apart from other rich vintages such as 2002. The Old Sparky should also age effortlessly for three decades or more." Wine Advocate #186, Dec 2009
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,800
