Community Tasting Note

  • J-Sho Likes this wine: 95 points

    May 8, 2016 - Tremendous wine for the vintage and still young at 5 years old. Immediately with some wildberry, mineral, cedar and a hint of anise. Medium to full bodied with beautiful layered palate that makes Schrader so special. Well integrated tannins.

    7/3/16, 10:05 AM - I tend to drink Napa Cabs around 4-7 years from Vintage though there are always differences depending on the wine style. I think the 2011 was surprisingly young for the 2011 vintage. Might suggest drinking this in the next 3-5 years. After that, it will depend on your taste for aged wines.
