Expert Reviews
Super intense, concentrated, tannic and reserved, with massive tannins and deep, dark blueberry, black currant, cocoa and graphite flavors. At once explosive in flavor and also held back by the structure, a situation that will be great for long-term development. Black olive, oak char, tobacco leaf, iron and cedar flavors expand on the palate. Made from a low-yielding clone of cabernet isolated on the Mondavi To Kalon property in 1989. Long, rather tight finish at this stage. Best from 2035.
Clone 31 isn't a very common choice these days, because of its small yields, but perhaps that's part of what makes Schrader's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Clone To Kalon Vineyard so darn good. Scents of dried spices and dusty loam accent black cherries and even a hint of something more exotic, like stone fruit. This stunner is full-bodied and supple, with a silky, dusty feel, lovely texture and weight and a balanced, vibrant and long finish. Am I underestimating it?
