1500 Parker Points of Wines (GHT): Inky purple in color. The nose is great with black raspberries, blueberries, some pencil lead and some charred wood. On the palate, this drinks much deeper than the Bevan. While not as delicious perhaps, it has complexity and depth to it that event his young, is obvious and interesting. Great pure cassis fruit on the palate. Wonderful slippery yet full texture. Long finish. I suspect this shuts down a bit, but right now its amazing.

Oh my. Decanted for 1.5 hrs. Black fruit and tobacco on the nose. Tannins were perfectly balanced. Dare say a 100 point wine.

Gorgeous bottle of wine. Decanted 2 hrs. prior to serving. Extremely expressive, complex nose. So concentrated, complete, and balanced. Drinking very well now. Perfection.

Perhaps the best bottle I have ever opened. This is my 4th 100 points rating after rating 400+ bottles. I did not decant, witnessing the evolution over 90 minutes was an unbelievable experience. Amazing!

Decanted for 90 minutes. Lot of sediment on this. Nose of currant, blackberry, bell pepper, loam and cherry compote. Nose really expressive and jumping out of the glass. Blackberry, currant, cherry, Berry cobbler, rhubarb and a slight mineral note. Finish goes on for at least a minute. This is simply fantastic!

I had the good fortune to enjoy this bottle for my 40th birthday. It is everything that a Napa fruitbomb can be. On the nose, the fruit just comes tumbling out of the decanter and the glass. Fruit and cocoa coats the mouth. The tannins are powder-fine, and the finish goes on for a full minute. It's the consummate modern-style California wine.

This is the highest achievement (perfection) of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape in Napa Valley for this year. Probably the standard. What else can I say but that I have 5 left. This is a great wine if you have the dough to splurge.

Absolutely superb Cabernet. Served at my Daughter's wedding. I decanted for approx. 3 1/2 hours. Rich dark fruit dominated nose. Super layered palate with a long finish. I can't imagine a better wine. Plenty mature but still years ahead.

Very, very deserving of its rating. Defines perfection. Ready to drink. Paired perfectly with grilled scallops. No flaws. No sediment. Dark ruby garnet color. Moderate rim variation. Full of florals and fruits. Low tannin/acid. Medium alcohol. Very long finish in the mouth. Only regret: only bottle I had. Enjoy.

After an hour in the decanter, this opened into a most beautiful, smooth, delicious Napa wine. 2016 is my favorite year I’ve experienced in Napa wines. This was no exception to that but was exceptional as far as gorgeous delicious wines are concerned!

Decanted for about 3.5 hours. Also had a 2016 Scarecrow and Carter Grand Daddy open.

This was off the charts. I am a sucker for Scarecrow, but this was the superior wine for all of us on this night.

Just pure balance, glorious dark fruit, and long, stunning finish.

Didn’t even need food with it; just perfection on its own. Perfect wine for me. I’m sure it can age gracefully but if I could drink this every night, I would.

I’ll admit I love Schrader wines. I think you can’t find better Napa Cabs than what Thomas Brown is putting out there. With that said, this certainly did not disappoint. Like the 2002 Abreu Thorevolis, this is very youthful for all three of color, nose, and taste. Both of these wines can last another 25 years easily. On a tangent subject, it would be interesting to try some of the aged, modern Napa Cabs like this against a first growth Bordeaux in years where both had excellent vintages... like 2009 and 2010. The only problem is we need to wait another 10 years to do it. Getting back on track, the Schrader is a beautiful wine, also 100 pts. It’s one of those wines that gives you goosebumps when you drink it. Again, velvet is the best way to describe the texture and the fruit, acidity, and integrated tannin just explode in the mouth. I’m lucky to have a few more of these to try over the next few years.

Blind Cab Tasting: Tasted blind. Wow - This was incredible! I don't remember spending much time with this in the glass without knowing it was Schrader, but i don't remember who called it. I loved the milk chocolate/cola note that was there. Just amazing purity of the fruit shining through as well, and great balance as well. Really amazing wine!

This wine is amazing from pnp. Followed over 5 hours and it improved throughout the night. Beautiful nose of blackberry and cassis plus the ccs note that i get w that wine. The taste is blackberry and blueberry compote, cassis with a dense sweet midpalate and a silky, velvety mouthfeel and finish

Not sure how I can disagree with the king. Decanted this beauty for 4 hours on Xmas day while playing golf. Also opened the RBS a mere 98 RP rating. Now that's a Xmas celebration. Not the best meal pairing roasted chicken with stuffing and Brussels sprouts, but drank most of it following the meal. This is incredible. Amazingly supple yet complex which is odd. Blackberry and cedar on the palate. And a finish that lasts for 60 seconds down your throat. Way better than the RBS which is no slouch.
