Founded in 1998 by Fred Schrader, Schrader Cellars is a titan of Napa Valley winemaking, legendary for its relentless pursuit of the perfect Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate is most famously defined by its access to the historic To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, where winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown crafts a diverse portfolio of site-specific wines that highlight the distinct clonal variations of this "first growth" site. Schrader made history by becoming the first winery to receive 100-point scores from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate for the same wine across four consecutive vintages, a testament to its unparalleled consistency and power. Characterized by incredible depth, velvety tannins, and massive aging potential, Schrader’s flagship labels—such as Old Sparky and CCS—remain among the most sought-after and collectible cult Cabernets in the world.
