2006 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, USA, California, Napa, Oakville, Wine Review
Beautiful wine. It has just about reached maturity but still has plenty of life left. Purple in color, opaque and bright. Great nose of cassis, cedar, graphite and char. Full bodied. Light to medium tannins. Nice balance. On the palate, this is delicious. Flavors of cassis, chocolate, slight blueberries, spice and char. Complex and deep. Long finish. This should drink well for another ten years before starting a slow decay. It is great on its own and would work nicely with grilled meat dishes.
2020 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah T 'n' S Blocks Hudson Vineyard South, USA, California, Carneros, Wine Review
Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, bacon fat, char, spice and slight floral tones. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is a big wine but not over blown. Flavors of black raspberries, roasted meats and slight herbal notes. Long finish. This is still on the young side, so give it air if drinking now. It should drink well for another ten to fifteen years. This would work well with Indian cuisine.
