We are a Schug family. We love this wine. We stumbled upon this wine (not to make you think we were drunk at the time) by pure luck and the wine from the Schug Carneros Estate and it is one you should try. It is above the typical $20 range that we try to stay below here at wineyjanet, but there are times we have found it on sale for $24 (and even less). In all honesty, it is well worth the purchase if you need a bottle for a special event, a special evening, or because you just want a good bottle.
Recently we had the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley and it was a very good glass. It was well-structured. We could taste the ripe flavors of currant and cherry. Darin picked up “spice”, but I couldn’t. This seems to be a classic wine from a very good and solid winery. We had it with a steak and the wine enhanced the dinner experience. Our guy at Heritage Liquours (in Centennial, Co) said that it is ready to drink now but will develop over the next 5 years.
So, to answer the question: To Schug or Not to Schug....I say Schug (if you couldn't figure that out after the first sentence). Keep this wine on your list and if you can pick one up, do so.
WineyJanet is all about finding good wines for a fair price that those of us “ordinary” people who love a glass a wine for the purpose of drinking wine can enjoy. Please don’t drink and drive.
