Double Diamond (Schrader)
Oakville - Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Unbending purple-black. Lovely nose of lavender and thyme, dusty black cherry, dried blackberry and ripe black currant, as well as a lovely mint moment of varietal introspection. Vanilla and cedar remain in check, as oak bolsters without overwhelming. A thing of beauty. Intense black cherry and currant wash over a scree of firm tannins. Great backbone, stellar integration. Strangely, I’m drinking it, but looking forward to the next bottle? Hmm. The purity of the fruit shines through with raspberry and dried strawberry notes making spirit cameos alongside Connecticut tobacco, plum and Roobios tea, but also an unusual citrus and leather-pepper. I wasn’t expecting so many differing fruit profiles , and such un-manipulated purity of grape expression. Great job! No need for makeup and plastic surgery for this action star! #schrader #doublediamond #schradercellars #napacab #napawine #napawinning #oakville #cabernetsauvignon #cabsauv #schraderdoublediamond

Schrader 'Double Diamond' Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2016
A rich, concentrated wine. Lots of dark fruits with some spice notes. Very smooth and accessible after some decanting. Everyday Luxuary is what this wine is about. What a beauty!
とても濃厚で凝縮されたワイン。とても果実味が豊かで程よいスパイスが感じられる。デキャンタ後は、舌触りも滑らかで飲みやすくなりました。Everyday Luxuaryとはよく言ったものです。素晴らしい。
