PRESS NOTES ON 2002 SCHRADER CELLARS CABERNET SAUVIGNON
2002 SCHRADER CABERNET SAUVIGNON, Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard
Rated 96 Pts. A delicious Cabernet, with a wonderful purity of flavor anchored by a rich, dense and concentrated core of
earthy currant, blackberry, wild berry and perfumed floral aromas. Supported by firm, ripe, structured tannins. There's a lot
going on in this youngster. Best from 2008 through 2014. (James Laube, The Wine Spectator)
Rated 95 Pts. The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon To-Kalon Vineyard Oakville reveals great ripeness, coming across like an exotic
Pomerol, such as Le Pin. Roasted herbs, caramel, toffee, black currant liqueur, and sweet smoke characteristics are present
in this explosively rich, unctuously-textured, pure, ripe Cabernet. Already flamboyant and accessible, it should be drunk over
the next 10-12 years. (Robert M. Parker, The Wine Advocate)
2002 SCHRADER CABERNET SAUVIGNON RBS, Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard
Rated 93 Pts. The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS is an exceptionally rich, dense ruby/purple-colored effort offering notes of
cedar wood, high quality cigar smoke, cassis, licorice, and new French oak. Full-bodied, opulently textured, pure, rich, and
long, it can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years. (Robert M. Parker, The Wine Advocate)
