Schrader Cellars | 1-2-3 Knockout: Double Magnum Wine Trio from One Spectacular Vintage

Schrader Cellars | 1-2-3 Knockout: Double Magnum Wine Trio from One Spectacular Vintage

• 3 bottles of Napa Valley wine, as noted

Don't miss out on these three extraordinary 3-liter bottlings from 2013 — a vintage that has proven to be one of the greatest of the last decade in Napa Valley.

Our 2013 wines are showing splendidly right now — the integration of tannin has come to a beautiful place and the wines display a truly harmonious marriage of fruit, tannins and structure. Our wines still exhibit a strong core but they are tempered by an elegance and a full bloom of fruit.

With 10 years of aging, these large-format bottlings can be enjoyed now but will also continue to evolve and age gracefully for at least another decade. This lot provides a wonderful overview of our portfolio and the breadth of winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown's mastery of Cabernet Sauvignon from a selection of some of the best vineyards in Napa Valley.

The 2013 RBS is produced from 100% Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from blocks of the vineyard that receive full sun and optimal heat during the day and are cooled by marine fog at night. This vintage resulted in a rich yet bright wine, with polished tannins and ripe fruit notes. RBS tends to be more approachable upon release than our other bottlings.

The 2013 LPV was sourced from the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard situated on the gentle slopes of West St. Helena. The vines in Las Piedras ("the stones" in Spanish) endure the added stress of rocky soils to produce wines of exceptional concentration and formidable structure. The 2013 vintage could benefit from a few more years of cellaring; the wine's tannins will continue to become more supple with time and develop a more refined structure and rich fruit notes.

The 2013 GIII was sourced from the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, formerly part of the Napa River riverbed. With soils benefiting from an abundance of minerals and rocks, this vineyard produces wines distinct from the surrounding terroir.
