The Schrader Heritage Clone Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a powerful and polished expression of Napa Valley, showcasing a singular selection of heritage Cabernet Sauvignon clones sourced from the iconic Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, this wine pays tribute to the unique characteristics of old vine clonal selections that have helped define Napa Cabernet’s identity. The 2022 vintage continues Schrader’s tradition of intensity, elegance, and precision—offering luxurious fruit, refined tannins, and tremendous aging potential.
Q: What is a “Heritage Clone”?
A: Heritage clones refer to specific clonal selections of Cabernet Sauvignon—often old vine or historically significant—that produce concentrated, site-expressive fruit. Schrader selects the finest heritage clones from To Kalon for this bottling.
Q: How does this differ from Schrader’s single-block wines?
A: While many Schrader wines focus on individual blocks, the Heritage Clone bottling emphasizes clonal character and depth, blending top blocks of old clone fruit for a refined, signature style.
Q: Is this wine age-worthy?
A: Absolutely. This wine is built for 10–20+ years of aging, gaining complexity, elegance, and nuance with time.
Q: Can it be enjoyed now?
A: Yes, but decanting for at least 1–2 hours is recommended in its youth to unlock its layered aromatics and soften the tannins.
