8/17/2019 - Somm David T Likes this wine: 93 points

This is a very expensive bottle and it pales against many of the wines I’ve had today. It’s not palate fatigue.

The fruit is nice, the balance, length, structure and tension are good. There is just no wow factor and there should be at this price point.

Blackberries, black cherries, strawberries, dark spice, crushed rocks, black licorice to anise, dry dark soil, volcanic minerals, dry herbs, mint-eucalyptus, bright red florals, good acidity with balance and polish on the long finish.

Big mocha shake with firm tannins and big round mouthfeel. Finish goes on and on.

A wine that reminds you why expensive wine is worth it. First, deep red on pour, actually a bit less opaque than I expected. The bouquet is really what blew me away. Every time I took a whiff, I got something else. Fruit? All of them... Strawberry, blackberry, plum, gooseberry. Bit of floral as well, some rose mixed in. The palate was smooth, starting off with a bit of spice, then moving to leather and a bit of earth and hint of molasses. Very smooth. Straight to carafe, drank over 6 hours, probably best at 2.5?

General comments based on last night's dinner. Outstanding in all respects with spectacular fruit and superbly balanced tannins and a long finish. Very young. Most at the dinner had this Schrader as the wine of the night but I much preferred the mountain fruit from Impassable. It was a privilege to taste them side by side; for me there is a clear difference between fruit from steep slopes and fruit from bench land.

As of July 2019, this wine is not ready to drink. If you open it now (like I did), you will find it to be too hot and without subtleness. There is not much mid-palate flavor profile. It is mainly alcohol. Patience. Would wait a while longer. Right now, it is an off-kilter 89 point wine reminiscent of Molly Dooker.

Jason turns 60 (Tilia): Modern, rich, fruity, delicious. Dense and liqueurish. Maybe a touch grainy.

Jason's Big 6-0 Bash (Tilia, Mpls): Very dark purple/red color. Decanted for 5+ hours; drank a glass over 90 minutes. Here's another big boy. Wow, there's some power here, very primary still with bold juicy fruit; blackberry, cassis, spice, wood and a little orange peel. Its very long and whoa does it build on the palate and finishes just a little astringent. A very modern style, and quite delicious. 93+pts.

Complex NAPAleon (Mason's house on the harbor): While the nose in unmistakably Schrader, the velvety smooth power has receded a bit. While still a beautiful wine, the upfront fruit is not dominant. The balance is nice, with no residual heat. I wonder if I need to start drinking mine.

2007 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon "Old Sparky" Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard

5/17/2018 - Matt D Likes this wine: 100 points

Possibly the most hedonistic beverage on the planet. Tasted blind among five of the best 2007 California Cabs (all rated 100 pts RP) and yet it distinguished itself and was unanimous WOTN. This wine is like an exploding ordnance of flavors in the mouth, with heavy backbone and perfectly structured for a long life in magnum. On a 100 pt scale I would rate this 101. I hope I live another 50 years to see how this beauty develops. Drink now - 2100.

Pnp, drank over 2 hours. A bit tight at first, got richer, fruitier over the 1st hour. Smooth tasting black fruits. Enjoyable & drinkable now but can age too.

Tastes okay but very turbid ... incredible amount of sediment both settled and suspended. Decanting solved only part of the problem. This degree of fines is a flaw, in my opinion, so no rating given.

100% cab. 14.4% ABV. CCS is clone 4 from the C1 block. I let it breathe for 1.5 hours then drank over 2.5. Great acidity on this wine. Bright cedar and spice notes. Long, juicy finish. As good on day 2.

Spectacular wine that is in perfect balance, silky tannins along with dark, blackberry, plum like fruit. Terrific complexity featuring notes of dark chocolate, cassis and licorice. Full bodied, fruit forward...this is Napa Cab at its best. Perfect wine to drink on your birthday!

Had at Sir Winston's with Chateaubriand tonight. For such a young wine with such a short 1 hour decant, this showed beautifully. I have gravitated toward Bevan CS the past few years because my wife and I both prefer fruit-forward wines. Not alcoholic fruit bombs, but 10 pounds of fruit shoved into a one-pound bag. This wine delivered that in spades. If you give it about 4-5 hours and you like fruit, then this will do it for you.

Expressive aromas of cassis fruit, blueberries, black cherries, spice box, cedar, red licorice and pencil lead. This is very young and super primary, but wow does it have tremendous potential. Super concentrated and pure dark black and blue fruit hit the palate with enough restraint to keep the wine very focused. Full bodied, the tannins are profound yet not harsh and the structure is fantastic for a valley floor wine. There are layers and layers of flavor with lots of earthy character. It finishes very long. Excellent representation of BTK. Definitely give this a ton of air if opening now.

Might be in a weird spot now. Not like the awesome bootle about 4 years ago. Drank a glass and even waited another 2 hours. Very red fruit palate but overly tart and lacking the sweetness from prior bottles. Still a long finish but lacking the wow factor. Would wait now. Disappointed.
