About The Wine

Schrader Cellars is one of the most awarded wineries in the history of American wine. The Schrader name is synonymous with outstanding, high-scoring Napa Valley Cabernet that is very limited and very expensive. Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown has made so many 100-point and near-perfect wines, we've lost count.

There is not much to be said about Schrader that hasn't already made headlines. Fred Schrader, an art and antiquity trader, attended the Napa Valley wine auction in the late '90s. He fell in love with Napa and then met Andy Beckstoffer and Thomas Rivers Brown. From that time, they sourced outstanding fruit from the To Kalon vineyard and set the wine world ablaze with some of the most sought-after, collectible, and delicious Napa Valley Cabernets ever created.

This wine reflects winemaker Thomas River Brown's dedication to capturing the complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted exclusively from the historic To Kalon Vineyard, originally planted in 1868 by Hamilton Crabb.

Exceptional soils, full sun, and cooling marine fog create ideal conditions for a Cabernet of remarkable depth.

Rich dark fruit, elegant floral and spice notes, and ripe tannins highlight Schrader’s distinctive character, with TKS standing out as a remarkable addition to our portfolio.

The 2023 vintage stands out as one of the most remarkable in Schrader’s history. Napa Valley enjoyed its longest growing season in over a decade, defined by steady, moderate temperatures that allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and fully. The result was exceptional balance—grapes with both power and finesse, depth and purity. These ideal conditions yielded wines of outstanding concentration, structure, and harmony. As winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown shared, “It should end up being one of the best vintages of Schrader we’ve ever bottled.”

Aged in 100% new Darnajou and Taransaud French oak barrels.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The new TKS cuvee from the southern parcels of To Kalon: inky, with a sensational nose of cassis, currants, crushed violets, graphite and crushed stone, and a massive, structured palate. Jeb Dunnuck calls it 'the creme de la creme' (97-100). Thomas Rivers Brown's hand on To Kalon fruit — a collector's Cabernet, by the six-pack.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

From the southernmost parcels in the To Kalon Vineyard and a new cuvée, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard TKS is inky hued and has a sensational nose of cassis, currants, crushed violets, graphite, and crushed stone. It's massive on the palate, with full-bodied richness, a huge amount of polished tannins, and flawless overall balance. The entire lineup of 2023s from Schrader are truly special, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one be the crème de la crème. ~ 97-100 Jeb Dunnuck
