FINEST AND RAREST CULT WINES
The Property of Frederick H. Schrader
Removed from professional storage
The extraordinary group of rare California wines offered below, many in virtually unobtainable large formats, was assembled over the last decade by prominent Napa vintner and art collector-dealer Frederick H. Schrader. Mr. Schrader co-founded Colgin-Schrader Cellars in the early 1990's and more recently founded Schrader Cellars. This sale includes the first-ever offering of Schrader Cellar wines to the market.
Marcassin Pinot Noir--Vintage 1995
Sonoma Valley
"The 1995 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard is the debut vintage for this wine. It possesses one of the most enthralling and exquisite Burgundian-like Pinot noses I have ever smelled in a young American Pinot Noir. The color is a healthy medium dark ruby, and the sweet nose of jammy red and black fruits, truffles, smoked duck, and earth reminded this taster of a grand cru from Flagey-Echèzeaux or Vosne-Romanée. The wine reveals a delicacy and sweetness on the palate, without the weight one expects from intense aromas and flavors. A remarkably complex wine, it will be a full-bodied, perfumed style of Pinot Noir that should drink well during its first 5 - 7 years of life." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Issue 108, 12/20/96
Only one barrel of this wine was produced, and the wine was never released commercially.
