A broad, velvety, generous and saturated wine, full-bodied, layered in fine-grained tannins, black fruits and tempting oak spices. Warm, luxurious, creamy and spicy, offering flavors of black cherries, dried blueberries, creme de cassis, cedar and tobacco leaf. The first vintage of this vineyard block selection from the Robert Mondavi Winery's property. Almost drinkable now and best from 2030.

TKS refers to the southern section of To Kalon Vineyard, positioned near Martha’s Vineyard and abutting Stelling Vineyard, owned by Far Niente Winery. The wine is remarkably complete and suave, with an impressive degree of polish. Inky dark fruit leads, layered with expressive blackberry and black cherry, lifted violet florals and a fragrant graphite mineral streak. Ultra-velvety, fine-grained tannins provide a firm yet refined foundation, allowing pure black and blue fruit to move with buoyancy and energy, threaded throughout by that same graphite and violet intensity. Polished, expressive and utterly seamless in 2023, it carries a depth and concentration one might associate with the forthcoming 2024 vintage, yet remains anchored by the freshness and generosity that define 2023. One of the newer components includes the Heritage Clone within the Monastery Block, which brings something 'super interesting,' as Thomas Rivers Brown notes.

(97+ points) Schrader's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon TKS originates from Block P1, across the creek from Martha's on the same alluvial fan and next to Stelling. Yielding a complex mix of red and black cherries and vivid herbal notes, this full-bodied wine is taut, vibrant, richly textured and long. It comes across as almost a bit crunchy, edgy and bright on the finish. This should be long lived.- Joe Czerwinski

A showy style, with a succulent burst of vivid boysenberry, black currant and blackberry compote notes that feel broad and fleshy, while ganache, licorice and espresso crema fill in liberally throughout, lending contrasting support. In the end, though there’s ample energy, this manages a polished feel, with a violet thread adding purity on the lengthy finish. Best from 2028 through 2043. 600 cases made.
