2013 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon RBS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard

Decanted 3 hours. Nose of nail polish and licorish, powerful but elegant with a silky mouthfeel. I believe this wine to be firmly in the drinking window although I did give it a longer than usual decant. This is one of the strongest wines I’ve had in many years. Making me rethink my migration to Bordeaux.

Decanted one hour. Some bricking in the wine, but not as much sediment as expected. By far the dominant profile in the nose and mouth was pipe tobacco, I’ve never had a wine like it before. Layered, intense, cerebral, very unique. Unexpectedly began to shut down after being open only 2 hours. Special wine but be sure to check in on it early in case other bottles perform this way.

Popped and poured. This is in the zone, nearing peak. Nice fine tannins balancing impressive red fruit with leather notes. Extremely elegant, glad I have more.
