2021 Schrader Cellars RBS Cabernet Sauvignon

品飲筆記：酒體濃郁飽滿，黑櫻桃、黑加侖與藍莓香氣層次豐富，夾帶黑巧克力與奶油太妃（nougat）的細緻甜感，尾段有溫潤的礦物鹹味。口感極為包覆，單寧結實但細緻，餘韻綿長。
酒莊與產地：這款來自 Beckstoffer To Kalon 的單一園表現，是噴火龍（Schrader Cellars）RBS 系列的代表作之一。園內土壤為沖積扇與海洋沉積，白天充分曝曬、夜晚受海霧降溫，讓果實成熟度與酸度達到平衡。三個克隆（4、6、337）各自帶出微妙差異，酒款即以展現這些細節為宗旨。
釀造工藝：由釀酒師 Thomas Rivers Brown 操刀，全數在新法國 Darnajou 與 Taransaud 橡木桶陳年，賦予香草、烘烤木質與結構感。酒體厚實、層次分明，適合短中期陳放或搭配風味強勁的肉類大餐。

Tasting note: Saturated and luxurious, this Oakville single‑site wine offers layered black cherry, ripe blackcurrant and blueberry fruit framed by dark chocolate, fine nougat and a mineral-salty streak. The texture is lavish and mouth-coating, with assertive yet polished tannins and a very long, chocolate-tinged finish.
Producer notes: From Schrader Cellars’ RBS program and sourced from the famed Beckstoffer To Kalon site in Oakville, this bottling celebrates the individuality of the blocks planted to clones 4, 6 and 337. The estate’s philosophy emphasizes single-vineyard purity and small, collectible production.
Winemaking notes: Crafted under Thomas Rivers Brown, the wine was matured in 100% new Darnajou and Taransaud French oak, adding spice, vanilla and structure while preserving concentrated fruit. Cork closure, high ripeness and careful extraction yield a dense, ageworthy wine.
Vineyard notes: The To Kalon block sits on an alluvial fan with marine sediment and mineral-rich soils. Full daytime sun and cooling marine fog nights create balanced ripeness and pronounced aromatics. Drinking window: 2025–2040.
