New release from Schrader Cellars, Napa's most sought-after producer.

The Double Diamond 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon stands to outshine the award-winning 2019 (Wine Spectator's #1 Wine of the Year) vintage with even deeper concentration and complexity. On the nose, the wine leaps from the glass with ripe blackberry, cassis, black cherry, and red plum, with a lovely herbaceous undertone. The palate expresses juicy red and black fruits with hints of black tea, damp earth, vanilla bean, lavender, and just a touch of flint. With fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity that lingers through the long finish, this wine is ready to drink upon release but will cellar well for years to come.

95 Points James Suckling: "A beautiful, luscious, easy-sipping red that goes deep in red and black fruit on a silky texture. Dark plums, black cherries, dark chocolate, cocoa and hints of red flowers, iron and graphite. Soft, resolved tannins and a lingering finish. Drink now or hold."

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Almost all Oakville with a splash of Wappo Hill, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is a smoking red that longtime Napa lovers will adore. Red and black fruits, spicy wood, flowers, and cedar nuances all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, with a pure, layered, seamless profile that has tons to love. Drink this balanced effort any time over the coming 8-10 years. It's another undeniably delicious, hard-to-resist Cabernet Sauvignon from the talents of winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown."

In 2000, Fred Schrader launched Double Diamond, just two years after he founded Schrader Cellars in 1998, as part of his ongoing mission to make the most exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon that Napa Valley could offer. These wines, as you know, are crafted by renowned winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown, who has remarkably led Schrader Cellars to an unprecedented record of twenty four 100-pt. scores during their 18-year partnership.
