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.
