Note di degustazione
The nose on the Schrader To Kalon is an intensely savoury character - dried Mediterranean herbs, unsmoked tobacco, cocoa dust, cool, damp soil, bay leaf and cedar. The fruit follows immediately, bright, fresh red berries - raspberry, cherry, cranberry, with hints of brambly fruit developing. On the palate, the fruits come to the fore, mouthwatering red berries, cocoa nibs, cigar wrapper and baking spice. The tannins are firm, grippy, but refreshing. Open only for an hour by the time of tasting, this charmed from the off, but with an underlying power and immense structure.

From the more northern part of To Kalon, just behind the Mondavi Vineyard and touching Beckstoffer's section, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard offers ripe blackcurrants, hints of cassis, sweet tobacco, chocolate, and spicy nuances that give it a complex, nuanced, incredibly layered profile. It hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, lush mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. Drink this sexy, voluptuous, hedonistic effort over the coming 20 years. There are 2,462 cases produced. Drink 2025-2045.
Cassis, spring flowers, toasted spices, and pressed flower notes all emerge from this 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard, a quintessential To Kalon that's full-bodied, deep, layered, and seamless on the palate. It's not the densest or most structured in the lineup, yet the texture, balance, and just utter charm are incredible.
Underscoring the high quality of the 2023 vintage for Schrader, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard is a terrific wine. Blended from several parcels of the famous vineyard, it boasts textbook aromas of dried herbs and spices, black cherries and loamy earth. Full-bodied, with a texture somewhere between silky and velvety, it's also tannic and firm, with a hint of Mexican chocolate on the long finish.
