2011 Schrader RBS Beckstoffer To Kalon – Napa Valley Single-Vineyard Purity
The 2011 Schrader Cellars RBS Cabernet Sauvignon from the legendary Napa Valley is sourced exclusively from the historic Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville. Crafted with precision by Schrader, this wine highlights the vineyard’s reputation as one of California’s most hallowed sites for Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes
The 2011 vintage offers an elegant and aromatic profile, with expressive notes of red currant, black cherry, and dried rose petals. Hints of cedar, sage, and subtle earthiness add complexity. On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet vibrant, showing lifted acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a finish marked by balance and finesse.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Sourced from old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon parcels within To Kalon, the wine is vinified with meticulous care and aged in **100% new French oak barrels** for 20 months. The vineyard’s alluvial fan soils and optimal Oakville climate contribute to remarkable structure and aromatic lift, even in the cooler 2011 vintage.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2011 Schrader RBS is a fascinating interpretation of To Kalon during a challenging year in Napa Valley. While more restrained than warmer vintages, its elegance and vineyard pedigree make it a collectible expression for enthusiasts of site-specific Napa Cabernets. Perfect for your collection of California Cult Wines.
Vintage Insights
