MB Monastery Block To Kalon Vineyard 2023 Schrader Cellars

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (97)

Schrader's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Monastery Block To Kalon Vineyard is a step up over the outstanding 2022. Exuberant florals—violets and thyme—form an ethereal layer above a base of ripe black cherries, while the full-bodied palate is rich and supple, so smooth and refined, with a silky, softly tannic and long-lasting finish.

Another powerful, structured effort in this lineup, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Monastery Block offers red and black currants, spicy wood, graphite, and crushed stone, with an almost scorched earth, Graves-like character. It's rich, powerful, dense, and concentrated, with a fleshy mid-palate and a blockbuster finish. There are roughly 1,955 cases of this brilliant wine that deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for two decades.
