  December 7, 2010 - I was excited to get this wine from Schrader, particularly after Wine Spectator gave Schrader so many accolades for their wines this year. This wine is billed as "Amazing Quality, Exceptional Value" on their website and I have to agree with that. This wine is everything I think is right about big California Cabernet - not too over-oaked and not too over-ripe, it drinks very smoothly with smooth tannins and an incredible flavor profile of dark cherries, tobacco, saddle leather and a touch of warm earth. At $40, it's not necessarily a weeknight quaffer, but it certainly drinks easy and solidly competes with wines in its price range.
