Tasting Notes

Crafted by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown in the Schrader Cellars tradition, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, cassis, and hints of sage and balsamic. On the palate, it delivers decadent fruit layered with refined structure and silky tannins, offering both richness and balance. The wine’s full body and ample tannins support ultra-ripe black fruit flavors, while subtle herbal and mineral notes add complexity and freshness. With its harmonious integration, the 2019 vintage is approachable now but will continue to evolve gracefully over the next several years. Its depth and vibrancy make it a versatile partner at the table: pair it with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or herb-crusted lamb to highlight its richness, while roasted root vegetables, wild mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses such as Comté and blue cheese will emphasize its savory and earthy dimensions.
