JEB DUNNUCK 100 POINTS - "From the southern part of To Kalon, the absolutely perfect 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyard TKS offers sweet crème de cassis, sweet tobacco, flowers, and incense notes that literally soar from the glass. It's full-bodied on the palate, with a forward, sexy, incredibly compelling style that has polished tannins, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. It's the closest thing to the old CCS release from this estate, and while it's irresistible today, it will cruise for two decades. There are 1,275 cases produced. Drink 2025-2045."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 97+ POINTS - "Schrader's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon TKS originates from Block P1, across the creek from Martha's on the same alluvial fan and next to Stelling. Yielding a complex mix of red and black cherries and vivid herbal notes, this full-bodied wine is taut, vibrant, richly textured and long. It comes across as almost a bit crunchy, edgy and bright on the finish. This should be long lived."
WINE SPECTATOR 96 POINTS - "A showy style, with a succulent burst of vivid boysenberry, black currant and blackberry compote notes that feel broad and fleshy, while ganache, licorice and espresso crema fill in liberally throughout, lending contrasting support. In the end, though there’s ample energy, this manages a polished feel, with a violet thread adding purity on the lengthy finish. Best from 2028 through 2043. 600 cases made."
