January 28, 2024 - Not quite as good as my last bottle but still on fire! Everything good about rich concentrated California cab. Enjoyed with steak.

November 26, 2023 - Hadn’t had a Cali Cab in a while and this was just what I needed to make me remember all that is good in Napa. A gorgeous deep, concentrated, rich bouquet of dark fruits with amazing balance and silky tannins that are now well integrated. Can’t imagine this getting any better. Left bottle open for 3 hours and by that point the wine didn’t get better which makes me think this is peak drinking for this. 2nd 06 from a case of 5 and once again incredibly good. Still my favorite and most consistent producer.

June 18, 2023 - A wonderful wine with dark, opulent fruit, notes of blackberry, cherry, cassis, damp earth and leather. Beautifully balanced with soft well integrated tannins, long finish. Paired with grilled dry-aged ribeye steaks with a port wine reduction sauce. A perfect Father's Day gift!

October 10, 2021 - Another unfortunate bottle, that is becoming all too normal for Schrader. Cork was so loose that when I went to use a Coravin, the cork popped out along with wine. Ok, well, the wine itself was off, VA? EA? Regardless, this isn’t the first. Stewed, pruney, but also a hint of a fortified wine. Not bad, but all six of us felt it was off.
