Schrader Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Written By: Brian Freedman on Tue, Mar 4th 2008
This thoroughly modern Napa cabernet boasts a nose of plum, ripe black berries, licorice, black peppercorn, and just a hint of roasted green bell pepper. All that complexity, however, is whittled down to the essentials on the palate: Red berries take over, as well as a backbone of graphite that keeps it all together. This is one of those rare wines that's both fabulous on its own and likely to make a delicious pairing partner for any grilled meat you choose. This is a real Napa gem.
