  A very different wine than I expected. Reminded me less of a classic Napa Valley CS like most Schrader and more like an SQN (dark, inky, etc). Expected to like this much more than I did considering how much I like Schrader generally. Still, an excellent wine.

  Absolutely superb Cabernet. Served at my Daughter's wedding. I decanted for approx. 3 1/2 hours. Rich dark fruit dominated nose. Super layered palate with a long finish. I can't imagine a better wine. Plenty mature but still years ahead.

  An unforgettable, very special wine. Enjoyed with friends at SW Steakhouse in Las Vegas. Decanted almost three hours and needed every minute of it.

  Classic ripe new world style, massive black and blue fruits, spice box, vanilla, great balance and texture. I’ll be honest, it’s lacking a bit in complexity and I was expecting more given the scores. It’s very very good however, so don’t get me wrong… I just expected more.
