2011 Schrader T6 – Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2011 Schrader Cellars T6 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the iconic Napa Valley site of Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, one of the most prized terroirs for Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted by Thomas Rivers Brown, this bottling showcases Schrader’s meticulous single-clone approach, offering a pure expression of clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon from this legendary vineyard.

Tasting Notes

Despite the cooler, challenging 2011 vintage, the T6 reveals expressive aromas of red currant, cassis, and cedar, accented by hints of tobacco, herbs, and subtle floral lift. The palate balances ripe red fruit with earthy complexity, showing fine tannins and freshness. The finish is long, elegant, and refined, offering early drinkability with the ability to evolve gracefully in the cellar.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Sourced exclusively from **clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon** planted in the renowned Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, the wine was fermented in small stainless steel tanks and aged in **100% new Darnajou and Taransaud French oak barrels** for around 20 months. Schrader’s clonal focus allows each bottling, including T6, to express a unique dimension of this legendary vineyard’s terroir.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2011 Schrader T6 is a rare bottling from a vintage that produced smaller quantities across Napa Valley. Collectors prize Schrader’s Beckstoffer To Kalon wines for their site fidelity, limited production, and critical acclaim. Perfect for your collection, especially for enthusiasts of single-vineyard, cult Napa Cabernets.

Vintage Insights

The **2011 Napa Valley vintage** was cool and marked by rain, producing wines of lower alcohol, higher acidity, and classic profiles. For producers like Schrader, careful vineyard selection and rigorous sorting yielded balanced, age-worthy wines that offer an old-school Napa sensibility.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard T6 is slightly riper and richer than the RBS with plenty of toasty oak intermixed with lead pencil shavings, cedarwood, baking spices, plums and black currants. Medium to full-bodied, ripe and delicious with 14.6% alcohol (slightly higher than the 2010), it should drink well for 10-12 years. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: October 2013. Drinking window: 2013 - 2025.
