Vintage 2022
The origin of Schrader Cellars traces back to 2000 when Fred Schrader tasted a barrel sample from To Kalon Vineyard. Today, Schrader Cellars embarks on a new chapter, sourcing exclusively from Robert Mondavi Winery’s To Kalon Vineyard starting with the 2022 vintage. This collaboration, led by Thomas Rivers Brown, has unveiled diverse and exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons, such as the Heritage Clone and Monastery Block. We are excited to celebrate the vineyard's recent organic certification, and to turn the page on this next chapter of our story and share it with all of you.
Pair with: Monastery Block
Potatoes Au Gratin with Crème Fraiche and Chanterelles
Herbaceous bay leaves and earthy mushrooms on top of creamy potatoes beautifully complement the ripe black fruit and fresh floral notes in our Monastery Block.
Pair with: Heritage Clone
Wagyu Tenderloin with Creamy Green Peppercorn Sauce
A delicious take on a classic pairing, our Heritage Clone will complement the sumptuous profile of the ribeye while its velvety tannins cleanse the palate after every indulgent bite.
Pair with: Wappo Hill
Duck Breasts with Blackberry Thyme Compote
The intensely flavored fruit and exceptional acidity of our 2021 Wappo Hill mirror the flavors of juicy blackberries paired with duck breast.
Pair with: Monastery Block
Pork Loin with Fennel Seed, Garlic, and Thyme Rub
Our 2021 Monastery Block, full of rich black fruit and florals, enhances the complex flavors of garlic, fennel, and thyme on this pork loin.

2022 To Kalon Vineyard —
94 Pts. “I loved the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard. It's a round, layered, supple, superb expression of the vineyard that has full-bodied richness, a round, layered, seamless mouthfeel, no hard edges, and sweet tannins. It's not going to make old bones, but given its balance and suppleness, I wouldn't be surprised to see this evolve gracefully either. Drink bottles over the coming 12-15 years.”

2022 To Kalon Vineyard Heritage Clone —
95 Pts. “Red and black plums, cassis, spice oak, violets, and incense nuances all shine in the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard Heritage Clone, a pure, concentrated, elegant To Kalon that's full-bodied, has pure, polished tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. It's a structured, big, burly wine in 2022 that warrants 2-4 years in the cellar. It should keep through at least 2037.”

2022 Wappo Hill Vineyard —
93 Pts. “Coming from a single block in this Stag's Leap vineyard, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Wappo Hill Vineyard is deep ruby/plum-hued and reveals a lifted, perfumed nose of red plums, incense, darker chocolate, and graphite-driven aromatics. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, textured, expressive 2022 that's perfect for drinking over the coming 10-15 years."

2022 To Kalon Vineyard MB —
95 Pts. “Cassis, darker chocolate, lead pencil, and smoked tobacco all emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard Monastery Block, a beautifully textured, full-bodied 2022 that has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It doesn’t get much better in the vintage, and while it has the upfront appeal of the vintage, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it evolve gracefully for upwards of two decades.”
