A consignor from BC, his passion for wine began 30 years ago. He built a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar in the 90s and stores his collection there. The bottles were all sourced either direct from the producers or through Marquis Wine Cellars in Vancouver.
The rating for 2004 Schrader Cellars Beckstoffer To Kalon Old Sparky Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Oakvilleis 98 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Sparky is made from clones 4, 6 and 337, the same as the Schrader, and comes from the Beckstoffer To Kalon vineyard as well. It tips the scales at the highest alcohol for them – 14.7%. It was aged 20 months in 80% Darnajou and 20% Taransaud and there are only 100 cases. This is a spectacular wine that is very sexy and forward, with great creme de cassis, and blackberry fruit intermixed with hints of coffee, unsmoked cigar tobacco, licorice and graphite.
