The red wine Double Diamond Oakville Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2018 from the winery Schrader Cellars has been rated in 2023 by Ulrich Sautter with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Napa Valley in United States.
A kind of second wine, the grapes are 100 percent from Oakville and 75 percent from To Kalon Vineyard. On the nose, black berry, liquorice, and then an opulent spiciness almost reminiscent of rheumatism ointment. The palate starts with a soft, crumbly tannic impression, is viscously grounded, ultra-ripe tannin and a rather mild acidity result in a round, full-bodied, creamy impression. This definitely has punch, but also such luscious fruit that the alcohol remains well integrated.
