Schrader Description

Logan

The brightness and energy of this dynamic wine make it truly beloved in our portfolio. Accessible and plush, gorgeous aromas of dark blue and black fruit, exotic spices, leather, licorice, herbs and a hint of menthol burst out of the glass, encompassing the senses. The well-heeled tannins reflect their Rutherford origin and perfectly pair with the toned acidity to support the dazzling, explosive fruit core.

96 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer George III Vineyard, made from clone 337, had a total production of 110 cases (compared to 260+ for the 2012). Its gorgeous nose reveals aromas of creme de cassis, blueberries, raspberries, vanillin and notions of cedarwood as well as incense. Deep and full-bodied with fabulous purity, a hallmark of all these wines, this spectacular 2010 has plenty of structure, but the fruit intensity and richness largely obscure the wine’s tannic profile.

Outer quote mark Schrader's 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon GIII Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard bursts from the glass with explosive dark blue and black fruit, exotic spices, flowers and menthol. There is an inner energy and tension in the GIII that makes this bottling stand out. Readers will want to give the 2010 a few years in the cellar, but it is strikingly beautiful even today. Over time, as I followed it, the wine continued to open up in the glass and put on considerable weight. In 2010, the GIII is a true standout. The GIII is clone 337 from the F block.

95 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark A powerful yet graceful Cabernet that's big, rich, chewy and chunky, with tiers of mocha, dark berry, spice and cedar flavors. This packs a wallop and isn't shy about tannins, so best to be patient. (JL) Inner quote mark (6/2013)
