Community Tasting Note

AGELVIS Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 28, 2023 - Three hour decant. Very very deep magenta color (much lighter than typical Napa CS, so no mega purple added). Black cherry, dark raspberry jam on buttered pumpernickel toast, marshmallow root, baker’s chocolate, and subtle tangerine rind. Dry, spicy, citrusy palate. The acidity is very fine, with a long linger. Firm, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.

This is my first ever Schrader. It’s youthful, but simultaneously polished/refined. It will certainly improve, but I understand JD’s noting that it lacks a “wow factor” that I’d expect at this price point. With that said, there’s no doubt it’s a more expensive Cab.
