It’s aged 20 months in 100% new Darnajou barrels. The good news is there are 520 cases of it. Just a prodigious wine, this spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon is inky bluish\/purple with a gorgeous nose of spring flowers, blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit, a touch of background toast and graphite. It has a very full-bodied, multidimensional mouthfeel and a skyscraper-like finish. It is fabulously open, sexy and a total thrill to smell and taste. This should continue to drink well for two decades\" RP Oct. 2014\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker writes, \"The Schraders, working with well-known winemaking consultant Thomas Rivers Brown, continue to farm and produce some of the world’s greatest Cabernet Sauvignons from three fabulous Beckstoffer-owned vineyards: the To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, the Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford and the Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena. To Kalon is gravelly, eluvial, loamy soils; Georges III Vineyard is an old creek bed; and Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena is planted on old river rock and gravelly loam. All of these blocks utilized for Schrader’s wines encompass over 25+ acres and are custom-farmed – as Fred Schrader likes to say, essentially “virtual vineyards,” even though they’re not owned by the Schraders. Their initial focus, which has proven so successful, is essentially a microscopic study of different clones planted in different blocks with exactly the same philosophy of viticulture, harvesting, winemaking, élevage and bottling. The consistency and the analytical aspects of the wines is mirrored in the incredible quality that Schrader has produced.\" Published: Oct 30, 2014","brand":"Schrader","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32967040761915,"sku":"USR:SCH:CCSS-0750-2012-F0L2C0","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/products\/Photo_Coming_Soon_25fdd43a-c2f7-4f1c-b129-51d586367312.jpg?v=1586458087","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/schrader-ccs-2012-750ml-nicked-label","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
