2011 Schrader LPV – Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2011 Schrader Cellars LPV Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the iconic Napa Valley site of Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard, highlights the precision and craftsmanship of Thomas Rivers Brown’s winemaking. Despite the cooler and wetter conditions of 2011, Schrader produced a remarkably balanced wine, offering a more restrained, terroir-driven style than in warmer vintages.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of red currant, dried rose petals, and cedarwood mingle with hints of graphite and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet finely structured, showcasing red cherry, savory herbs, and a mineral edge. The tannins are supple, carrying the wine to a persistent, elegant finish that emphasizes freshness over opulence.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The LPV bottling is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard in St. Helena. The vineyard’s rocky alluvial soils contribute to the wine’s mineral precision and aromatic lift. Aged in **100% new Darnajou and Taransaud French oak barrels**, the 2011 vintage spent close to 20 months in barrel before bottling, with no fining or filtration.

Investment & Collectibility

While 2011 was a challenging vintage in Napa, Schrader’s single-vineyard wines—particularly LPV—stand out for their balance, drinkability, and authenticity. The scarcity of LPV bottlings and Schrader’s cult reputation make this wine a desirable addition for collectors of California Cult Wines. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Insights

The 2011 Napa Valley vintage was marked by cooler temperatures and autumn rains, yielding wines with lower alcohol, higher acidity, and refined profiles. For producers like Schrader, the result was Cabernet Sauvignons that emphasize elegance and terroir over sheer power—wines that will appeal to collectors seeking nuance and sophistication.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Schrader’s newest offering is the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard LPV, which comes from clone 337 of the Las Piedras site. This is a west side valley floor vineyard with a foundation of alluvial river pebbles and rocks as well as gravelly loam. The Schraders have a long-term lease on 5 acres, which, added to their 16 acres of Beckstoffer To Kalon and 5 acres of Beckstoffer George III, gives them some pretty serious leases on some of the finest terroirs in Napa Valley. The softest wine of this portfolio, there are 350 cases of the 2011 LPV, far less than the 600 cases produced in 2012. Given its warm micro-climated, these grapes were picked before the rains descended. The wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, supple tannins, and sweet red and black currants, licorice, Christmas fruitcake, incense and forest floor. This beautiful, medium-bodied 2011 is already complex and evolved. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: October 2013. Drinking window: 2013 - 2028.

Vinous

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon LPV Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard is the most open and accessible of these 2011s from Schrader. A deep, inky wine, the 2011 emerges from the glass with black fruit, menthol, cloves and new leather. When it was in barrel, the 2011 had more energy, tension and minerality, but over time it has lost most of those qualities and today it is rich and powerful to the point of being heavy. My sense is that the 2011 is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. The LPV Cabernet emerges from a parcel in the vineyard planted with Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: November 2013. Drinking window: 2014 - 2021.
