About Schrader Cellars
Schrader Cellars is a distinguished Napa Valley wine project crafting Cabernet Sauvignon from select vineyard sources in the Oakville appellation. Established in 1998, the project reflects a commitment to quality-driven winemaking, with production limited to ensure hands-on attention at every stage from vineyard to bottle. The wines are designed to express the distinctive terroir of their origins while remaining true to the winemaker's vision.
The winemaking at Schrader Cellars emphasizes structure and age-worthiness. Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from proven vineyard sites and crafted with careful extraction, French oak aging, and patient blending to develop layers of complexity. Each vintage represents the best expression of the available fruit. The cellar work is precise without being formulaic, allowing the natural quality of the fruit to guide the finished wine.
Schrader Cellars welcomes visitors by appointment at the estate in Oakville. The experience is welcoming and educational, with flights designed to showcase the current releases and the winemaking philosophy behind them. The setting provides an authentic window into Oakville winemaking.
