3/8/2024 - EyeDoc wrote: 96 pointsA lot of sour cherry on first taste - this kind of mellowed in the glass with a bit more dark fruits and a smidge of mocha. Tannins have mellowed but linger with a long smooth finish. Drink or Hold. |

3/3/2024 - EyeDoc wrote: 93 pointsThis wine improved in the decanter. Very bright fruit and no semblance of being a 20+ year old wine. Really good finish with nice soft tannins. |

2018 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Colesworthy Beckstoffer Las Piedras VineyardSt. Helena more |
2/23/2024 - EyeDoc wrote: 97 pointsA bit lighter on the finish than many Schrader wines - nonetheless, beautiful balance with dark fruits predominantly although a bit of strawberries too. Mid palate and finish are seamless and the moderate tannin is sweet and ripe. This will drink very well with many food choices due to the elegance of the wine. |

12/31/2023 - EyeDoc wrote: 96 pointsEnjoying this quite a bit more than an '02 I had recently which was for me way too lemon zest driven. This has a balance of bread and citrus notes and even a bit of strawberries on the nose. A great Dom. May buy some more. |

12/25/2023 - EyeDoc wrote: 92 pointsI believe this must have been purchased in 2016 (one of those bottles I somehow missed cataloging.) So it has a bit of cellar age on it. This was very fresh and lively - great mousse. More the style that I prefer - brioche, light citrus. Tremendous with King Crab and Butter. I can drink this every time and be very happy (unfortunately my only bottle so time to buy more). |
