2024 Heritage Clone

Sourced from a single block in the To Kalon Vineyard, the Heritage Clone yields exceptionally small clusters with tiny berries and naturally low production, resulting in fruit of remarkable concentration and purity. The 2024 release delivers intense depth and complexity, showcasing plush dark and red fruit supported by lively acidity that brings balance and lift. Elegant and expressive, this wine reveals a compelling spectrum of flavors—including red cherry, cocoa‑tinged nuances, citrus peel highlights, and savory earth—reflecting the historic character of this singular clone and its extraordinary site.

  • Vineyard

    First planted in 1868 by viticultural and winemaking icon Hamilton Crabb, To Kalon Vineyard has long been regarded as the source of Napa Valley’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Within the prime vineyard blocks, an alluvial fan provides excellent and varied mineral deposits, and the rich soils are filled with marine sediment that gives our wines their distinctive profiles. The vines receive full sun and optimal heat during the day and are cooled by marine fog at night. These conditions allow the Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the vineyard to display its own unique character, and this celebration of individuality is the essence of Schrader.

    As vintage 2024 makes its way to bottle, it is shaping up to be what many in Napa Valley are calling a classic—depth of flavor, beautifully structured, and evocative of the terroir we cherish. Generous winter rains laid the groundwork for the season, easing the impact of summer heat, while warm days and cool nights culminated in a confident, well-timed harvest that allowed each site to express its fullest potential.

    As winemakers, we rarely get vintages that feel close to perfection, but 2024 was one of those years where color, depth, and vibrancy came together with remarkable balance—yielding fruit that promises compelling wines with both immediate presence and long-term cellar potential.
