Double Diamond Description
From the producers of Schrader
In 2000, Fred Schrader created Double Diamond as part of his continuing quest to make the best Cabernet Sauvignon that Napa Valley can offer. This unique expression of the region carries on the tradition of earning critical acclaim and drawing passionate fans that Fred began in 1998 with Schrader Cellars. After a three-year hiatus, Double Diamond returns by popular demand.
The 2016 vintage of Double Diamond opens with layered, intriguing aromas of black currants, dark cherries, blackberry, cherry compote, toast, and oak spice with notes of herbs, pine cone, and dried earth. In the mouth, the palate is rich and juicy, bursting with big, rich flavor. The tannin structure makes this a great wine to enjoy upon release, but it will also mellow nicely for the next two to six years.
CRAFTED BY RENOWNED WINEMAKER THOMAS RIVERS BROWN
Over the course of an eighteen-year collaboration with Fred Schrader, Thomas has led Schrader Cellars to an unprecedented record of twenty-four 100-point scores from some of the world’s most respected critics.
