The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Schrader Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is one of the more plush overt wines in this lineup. There is tremendous depth in the fruit in this massive sweeping wine. The aromas and flavors build towards the cascading finish. The Schrader is a decidedly big muscular wine that emphasizes power over detail. The Schrader is predominantly clone 4 from the D2 block with a dollop of clone 6 from the D2 block and clone 337 from the B2 block. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.

Intense and multifaceted, exhibiting dense, detailed currant, spice, chocolate brownie, crème de cassis and mocha flavors. Focused and persistent, building depth and gaining length. Best from 2014 through 2030. 375 cases made. — JL
