Schrader Double Diamond release
Schrader Double Diamond release
Got the release email for this today. $450 for a 6 pack seems pretty reasonable for TRB crafted Cab. Anyone try the 2016 release?

Beginning with the 2016 vintage, Double Diamond is sourced exclusively from a complement of prime vineyard estates on the warm Napa Valley Appellation of Oakville. Each incredible vineyard contributes its unique character to this enticing and eminently satisfying Napa Cabernet. Oakville, a center of fine winemaking since the 1860s, remains a favorite among connoisseurs of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.

Re: Schrader Double Diamond release
Used to be Lake County IIRC and I found them undrinkable. Hopefully much improved with Oakville grapes
Re: Schrader Double Diamond release
Never liked the ones I sampled many years ago. Have they evolved into good wines. 2005/ 2006 vintage.

Re: Schrader Double Diamond release
Why buy the ‘17 @ $75 plus shipping when you can still get the ‘16 for ~ $65.

Re: Schrader Double Diamond release
The 16 was very uninspiring imo. Iirc and don't quote me, but I think I heard fruit is from a different source in 17.

Re: Schrader Double Diamond release
Lots of TRB estate wines (if that’s the goal) for around $75, I’d stay away from this one based on admittedly dated tasting experience.

This is today's featured wine on Wine Spectrum for $99; the 2017.
Re: Schrader Double Diamond release
You can get Conn Valley Reserve for this price and much superior wine.

Re: Schrader Double Diamond release
Saw these for $39.97 at my local Costco today. That's insane they are dumping them so cheaply. Glad I didn't buy.

2016 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Double Diamond - USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville (10/10/2019)
2019 Hennepin Lake Charity Event (Minneapolis, MN): I am in the 80s crowd for this wine. Eucalyptus overload. Can't quite tell what fruit is hiding in the wine. It is a big in your face wine that lacks balance. Never been a fan of this 2nd label wine. (85 points)
