Aston was one of two Pinot projects by Schrader, Boar’s View being the other. I believe it’s now solely under TRB’s helm.

The winery makes just two bottlings: one mostly from sourced fruit, and this, from 100% estate vines. The nose offers ripe plum, cranberry, black cherry, cedar, a touch of baking spice, and steeped tea. The palate is generous yet lifted by bright acidity, with a hint of sweetness on the long finish. Should have 5–6 more years of prime drinking ahead. — 3 months ago

This one in still available for around €70 in Sweden, so I was intrigued to try the WOTY. Full bodied with ripe dark fruits, plenty of baking spices, currants, cedar wood. I prefer this over The Mascot from Harlan, the quality of the fruit comes across a bit superior here. Very well made. — 3 years ago

12’ Fait-Main Las Piedras.
It’s as good if not better then the Schrader LPV / Paul Hobbs LPV. Deep ruby color, pale purple edge. Nose- Black/blue fruits worn leather, come together.
Full-bodied. Blackberry jam, smoke, lavender, black forest cake, melting tannins. Juice flavorful finish. Pour into a decanter for 15/20 minutes. Fabulous expression of this vineyard.
Two can’t miss wines for the 4th. — 4 years ago

Magnum 1997 Spottswoode CS. Bday dinner for R at Rep. Served this after the ‘02 Schrader, which was decanted. This was served straight. High acid, but still lot of weight to it. Great. Preferred it to the Schrader. — 6 years ago

‘07 Bryant vs ‘09 Old Sparky. Both are delicious but ‘07 Bryant is perfection and the Schrader was v good but not outstanding. — 5 years ago

July 4th Friday was a total blowout! Killer bottles one after another. Here are just a few of the bottles we all enjoyed!

Such a treat to compare this against the ‘08 Schrader To Kalon and the ‘09 Chappellet Pritchard Hill. This was decidedly more dusty. Dark cocoa dusted dates, cassis, and black cherry compote over toasted graham crackers. This was decanted about an hour+ before we got to it and it was still powering through hours later. Thanks, @joe leatherwood . — 6 years ago

From the damned 2011 vintage comes another stellar cabernet! Pours with a purple hue. Blackberry and rhubarb nose. Youthful dense fruit. Compared to a 14 Insignia and an 11 Schrader LPV this one was probably the biggest on the table. The middle turns a little darker with black pepper showing through. The finish has resolving tannin and is on the softer side but lots of things going on here. Hint of herb, chocolate, black fruit. Complex and lovely. Going to appreciate over the next 7 to 10. — 7 years ago
