Description

Schrader Cellars was founded in 1998 by Fred Schrader, who set out to craft Cabernet Sauvignon with a single-minded focus on quality and provenance.

Today, Schrader Cellars is regarded as one of Napa’s best producers of Cabernet Sauvignon and hardest-to-get allocations. Our wines, with their hallmark style that balances a modern sensibility with classic techniques and non-interventionalist winemaking, are unabashedly generous while never tipping over into excess, maintaining a focus on balance, purity and structure. Our efforts have been rewarded with thirty-seven perfect 100-point scores from top wine critics – more than any other winery in Napa Valley.

To Kalon Vineyard, originally planted in 1868 by H.W. Crabb. Exceptionalsoils, full sun, and cooling marine fog create ideal conditions for a Cabernet of notable depth. Rich dark fruit, elegant floral and spice notes, and ripe tannins highlight Schrader's distinctive character.

2023 blessed us with what will surely become one of Schrader's most celebrated vintages. Napa Valley experienced its longest growing season in over a decade, with mild, consistent temperatures that allowed for extended hang time and generous yields. These ideal conditions fostered exceptional fruit development, producing wines of unprecedented depth, harmony, and structure. Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown notes, "It should end up being one of the best vintages of Schrader we've ever bottled.
