Double Diamond Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

Double Diamond is the team behind Schrader Cellars' cult To Kalon Cabernets working with younger vines. The fruit comes from blocks in the Mondavi part of the To Kalon vineyard that don't make the main Schrader wines. The 2019 Double Diamond was Wine Spectator's No. 1 Wine of the Year in 2022.

Thomas Rivers Brown makes the wine. The 2022 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville. It was aged in 54% new French oak, with the rest in once-used Schrader barrels. It's 15.4% alcohol.

The winery describes black raspberry, toasted cedar, plum and pennyroyal mint, then blackberry compote, dark chocolate, oolong tea and flint, with a long, floral finish.

This is the most affordable way to taste To Kalon fruit made by the Schrader team. For something to drink tonight rather than cellar, Sequoia Grove costs less.

The winery says it's ready on release and will cellar for years; drink it through about 2035. Decant it for an hour and serve it with a dry-aged steak.
