Critics reviews
The winery's entry-level Cab, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Double Diamond, comprises approximately 70% To Kalon fruit, plus another site, and skews toward younger vines. Loaded up with notes of mocha, milk chocolate and caramel, supplemented by dark, plummy flavors, this full-bodied effort finishes with a soft wash of dusty tannins.
Drink 2022 - 2030
Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown says this is sourced from the younger vines in To Kalon and a vineyard on Oakville Cross Road. High-toned red berry fruit aromas are dusted with sweet baking spices and firm oak. Medium-bodied palate with creamy dark fruits, a kiss of wild herbs and soft tannins. An easy-drinking red that offers tremendous value.
Drink 2022 - 2038
Released by Schrader as a separate brand, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Double Diamond which is still 70% To Kalon) offers a forward, medium to full-bodied, incredibly sexy style as well as classy notes of cassis, tobacco, incense, orange blossom, and flowers. Readers looking for a touch of that Schrader magic at a slightly more affordable price are going to love this beauty. It's already drinking nicely, and I see no need to delay gratification.
Lots of mint, flower and blackcurrant aromas follow through to a medium to full body, creamy tannins and a savory finish. Good depth of fruit here. Juicy and delicious now.
