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

The **2011 vintage** in Napa Valley was cooler and wetter than usual, leading to wines with lower alcohol, vibrant acidity, and refined aromatics. For To Kalon, this meant Cabernet Sauvignons of poise and distinction rather than sheer power—an appealing choice for collectors seeking diversity in their cellars.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard RBS is lighter than usual, but still very attractive, forward and endearing ... one of the positives in 2011. The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple and the wine is clean, with no herbaceous or mean green characteristics. This elegant, medium-bodied 2011 is ideal for drinking over the next 10-12 years.

Vinous

Schrader's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is pure silk on the palate. The aromas, flavors and textures are incredibly refined and lifted. A soft, seamless wine that stands out for its gorgeous balance, the 2011 is showing beautifully today. Freshly cut flowers, mint and red berries all flow through to the impeccably refined finish. It is fascinating to taste the RBS next to Las Piedras. Both wines are Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon, but here we are in To Kalon, where the flavors seem to have a little more defintion. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: November 2013. Drinking window: 2016 - 2023.
