  Simply outstanding, I wish I could keep a bottle to try in 10 or 20 years!

  My Napa tastes have become quite picky in recent years and if there is a wine that continues to surprise me that I continue to enjoy it’s Schrader. These things are ripe, full throttle, and in your face but how they do it simply works. They are consistently good and fun to drink. This was no exception. It opens beautifully over about three hours with wood and cedar mixing effortlessly with the huge fruit. This is not the best Schrader bottling but it’s still enjoyable.

  PnP, no decant needed. Very aromatic with blue and black fruit, anise, spice, eucalyptus with a touch of pencil shavings. Deep and dense, full bodied with blue and black fruits, anise, spice pencil shavings. Silky smooth with smooth tannins in a long finish.

  Clear winner/WOTN vs 2019 Adversity Papas and 2017 Bevan Tench EE. Silky smoothe right out of the gate with beautiful plum and red fruit notes. Fully integrated tannin and a long finish. Will drink this over the next 10 years and will LOVE IT!

  Friendsgiving Dinner (Schur House - Riverwoods IL): Walkaround tasting. My first time tasting RBS from 2016, and it is certainly one of the finest Schrader wines I have ever tasting, almost certainly the most refined and elegant.
