Schrader Double Diamond 2022 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon D94 Rated

Double Diamond by Schrader 2022 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Sourced from the prestigious To Kalon Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Oakville appellation, this 2022 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon offers a captivating blend of elegance and depth. Crafted from younger vines within renowned Mondavi parcels of To Kalon—blocks excluded from Schrader’s flagship wines—this wine captures a distinct character shaped by meticulous vineyard selection and expert winemaking.

Aged in a thoughtful blend of 50% new French oak barrels and seasoned Schrader barrels, this Cabernet balances vibrant fruit-forward flavors with nuanced complexity. Expect bright red berry notes like crunchy black cherry and ripe plum upfront, complemented by rich caramel and toasted spice undertones. Firm yet polished tannins provide structure, while its full-bodied profile delivers a lush mouthfeel that lingers long on the palate.

The nose entices with aromas of black raspberry, toasted cedar, and juicy plum, accented by hints of pennyroyal mint—a hallmark of premium Napa Valley Cabernet. On the palate, layers of blackberry compote, dark chocolate shavings, oolong tea, and flint create a harmonious dance of flavors that culminate in a floral-infused finish.

At 15.4% alcohol by volume, this wine pairs effortlessly with robust dishes or stands alone as an indulgent sipping experience. A 94-point rating from Decanter underscores its quality as an exceptional value among Oakville Cabernets.

Perfect for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a refined expression of Napa’s iconic terroir without compromising on craftsmanship or character.*
