Community Tasting Note

  December 8, 2017 - I’ll admit I love Schrader wines. I think you can’t find better Napa Cabs than what Thomas Brown is putting out there. With that said, this certainly did not disappoint. Like the 2002 Abreu Thorevolis, this is very youthful for all three of color, nose, and taste. Both of these wines can last another 25 years easily. On a tangent subject, it would be interesting to try some of the aged, modern Napa Cabs like this against a first growth Bordeaux in years where both had excellent vintages... like 2009 and 2010. The only problem is we need to wait another 10 years to do it. Getting back on track, the Schrader is a beautiful wine, also 100 pts. It’s one of those wines that gives you goosebumps when you drink it. Again, velvet is the best way to describe the texture and the fruit, acidity, and integrated tannin just explode in the mouth. I’m lucky to have a few more of these to try over the next few years.
