Schrader Old Sparky 2006 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon red wine from the Napa Valley of California. Hailing from Oakville, Napa Valley, Schrader Cellars Old Sparky Cabernet Sauvignon is a selection of exceptional barrel lots distinguished by their remarkable individual character and greater levels of depth and richness. The 2006 is available here in magnum format. "The flagship wine, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Old Sparky, is another remarkable effort, offering up smoky blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with notions of bouquet garni, roasted meats, creosote, and cedar. Tasting like a first-growth Pauillac from a very ripe, extravagantly rich vintage, this wine looks set to enjoy 25-30 or more years of longevity, as do all of these compelling Cabernets." 100 points, Robert Parker, 2008
Fred Schrader founded Schrader Cellars in 1998 with a goal of making the best Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon possible. Since then, the brand has gained renown for its incredible vineyard sourcing (Beckstoffer To Kalon, Las Piedras, and Georges III) and remarkably gifted winemaker, Thomas Brown. Since its inception, Schrader has achieved a total of thirty-five 100-point scores from the likes of The Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Jeb Dunnuck, and James Suckling.
Formally an art dealer, Fred Schrader had long been searching for terroir that would allow him to producer high quality Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa - that search led Fred directly to the office of legendary grape grower W. Andrew Beckstoffer. The partnership began with a small selection of vine rows in the historic Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard - as the partnership great, so did the number of vines available to Schrader and now some of the finest blocks in To Kolan go into Schrader's wines.
