僅次於Screaming Eagle，噴火龍Old Sparky可說是美國第二貴的膜拜酒款，光聽名字就可以感受其威力之猛。僅有絕佳年份才會釀1.5L大瓶裝，且都是封蠟！ Old Sparky是Schrader莊主Fred Schrader的綽號。
Schrader Cellars 比鄰Opus One、與Screaming Eagle和Harlan Estate都出自同一名園- To Kalon，釀自此葡萄園的酒擁有頂尖的複雜度及陳年潛力，身價可與布根地特級園慕斯妮(Musigny)相提並論。Schrader Cellars年產量僅二千箱(6入)左右，僅達Opus One 1/10，加上嚴格控管銷售通路，僅開放10%給國際市場、所以有錢也難得買到一瓶！噴火龍絕對是藏家們甘願排隊數年購買的夢幻逸品！也是『世界頂尖名釀溫度計』倫敦國際葡萄酒交易所Liv-ex認證：目前最『火』的十大加州名酒之一！Schrader酒莊的創始人Fred Schrader因年事已高，為使Schrader品牌得以延續，於2017年出售給酒業巨頭星座集團。

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer George III Vineyard offers an extraordinary bouquet of creme de cassis, scorched earth, and burning embers as well as full-bodied power, velvety tannins, and exceptional density and richness. This superb wine exhibits layered extravagance and sweet tannins, a rarity in this vintage. It is already drinking well. As I wrote last year, this is a fascinating portfolio of 100% Cabernet Sauvignons all of them from Beckstoffer-owned vineyards, including the To-Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and one wine from the George III Vineyard in Rutherford. All the wines are aged in 100% new French oak, usually a combination of Darnajou and Taransaud barrels, with a higher percentage of Darnajou used for the T6, CCS, Old Sparky, and Schrader. The different bottlings are essentially based on specific blocks and/or specific clones of Cabernet Sauvignon. In short, I think the 2006s are arguably the finest wines of the vintage, and the 2007s appear to be as profound. Given the fact that these wines seem to put on weight once they are in bottle, the 2007s may eclipse the extraordinary 2006s produced by Carol and Fred Schrader, and their brilliant winemaker, Thomas Brown. Total production of these cuvees is just over 1,500 cases, with the average for each offering 200-250 cases. Readers should keep in mind that all of these wines are aged in 100% new French oak for 20 months, bottled with no clarification, and possess alcohols ranging from 14.5% to 14.9%. This was one of the most exciting tastings I have done in 2008!
