2022 Schrader Cellars Double Diamond Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Schrader Cellars is one of the most awarded wineries in the history of American wine. The Schrader name is synonymous with outstanding, high-scoring Napa Valley Cabernet that is very limited and very expensive. Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown has made so many 100 points and near-perfect wines, we've lost count. 

There is not much to be said about Schrader that hasn't already made headlines. Fred Schrader, an art and antiquity trader, attended the Napa Valley wine auction in the late '90s. He fell in love with Napa and then met Andy Beckstoffer and Thomas Rivers Brown. From that time, they sourced outstanding fruit from the To Kalon vineyard and set the wine world ablaze with some of the most sought-after, collectible, and delicious Napa Valley Cabernets ever created.

This is no ordinary Cab—it’s Double Diamondsourced from the iconic Beckstoffer To Kalon and Georges III Vineyards, this Oakville gem delivers serious star power.

Think bold blackberry, dark cherry, and cassis, wrapped in silky tannins with hits of cocoa and cedar. It’s ready to wow now, but give it 3-5 years, and it’ll blow your mind.

Aging: 54% new French oak, 46% second-use Schrader Darnajou French Oak.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon offers concentration, lively acidity, and refined tannins that have become the hallmark of the 2022 vintage. The nose holds notes of black raspberry, toasted cedar, juicy plum, and pennyroyal mint—a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon signature. The palate is mouthwatering with intricately woven layers of blackberry compote, dark chocolate shavings, oolong tea, and flint. The dynamic flavors carry across the mid-palate in vivid harmony into a long, floral finish. This wine is ready to drink upon release but will cellar well for years to come.
