Tasting notes
The majority of the fruit here comes from younger vines in To Kalon (representing around 75%), with the rest sourced from Schrader’s estate vineyard in Oakville. Aged in 50% new oak, with the rest second-use oak, it’s an exotic, perfumed wine – with intense red fruit and sweet spice on the nose. The palate is mouthwatering and concentrated, yet with a supple texture, layered with black and red berries and energy from the juicy acidity. Approachable now, although not short in concentration or complexity.
