Napa Valley, California, USA
Part 1 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people.
This was in the running for WOTN with a few others (in my opinion). My first Schrader, actually. I haven’t had many of TRB’s wines with 10yrs of age, so I was surprised at the flavor profile including equal amounts of red, blue and black fruit. Absolutely gorgeous bouquet of sandalwood too. Almost at a perfectly integrated drinking window. Fig, roasted plum, and some dark mocha. I’ll let @Bill Bender provide better commentary as he brought this at our begging! Thanks a ton, Bill.

Celebrating the win to get to 11-0 and clinch the west division! Artistry in the glass. That elusive mix of elegance and power. It tastes just the way cab should.
