About company
Fred Schrader began his life as a vintner with one defining goal in mind - to create benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon from the most notable vineyards in the Napa Valley. In the early vintages, Fred sourced grapes from a renowned site in the southern region of the Napa Valley. Then in 2000, a fortuitous barrel tasting brought Fred to the doorsteps of Andy Beckstoffer and he soon began sourcing fruit from the magnificent Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. It is also the same year that he hired an enthusiastic young winemaker, Thomas Brown. Schrader Cellars is enduringly committed to the unparalleled quality of the Beckstoffer Vineyards and now sources grapes from the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard and Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyards, in addition to the legendary Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard.
