Schrader Colesworthy 2016 OWC 1.5L Red Burg Extraordinary power

Extraordinary power

Readers should keep in mind that all of these wines are aged in 100% new French oak for 20 months

with a leathery finish that demonstrates good persistency

As I wrote last year

this is still a decade away from maturity

Schrader Colesworthy 2016 OWC 1.5L Red Burg Extraordinary powerDeep garnet purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Colesworthy opens with ripe, rich, bold crme 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.
