The 2013 Schrader 'RBS' Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 337 clone sourced from the famed Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville. The resultant wine is completely stunning, with gorgeous fresh aromas of crème de cassis and red cherries, laced with graphite and anise which immediately begin to seduce. The mouthfeel is deep, layered and penetrating, with remarkable concentration, as the underlying acidity keeps it fresh and inviting. The purity of fruit is outstanding, as flavors of crème de cassis, milk chocolate and coffee grounds expand through the long, dense finish. While simply delectable now, this Cabernet from Thomas Brown will continue to age beautifully. (Best 2018-2035) - October, 2017 (OB)
