Double Diamond Proprietary Red Blend 2021 6x750ml Case

The 2021 Schrader Double Diamond Napa Valley Proprietary Red is a wine of remarkable depth and character. Upon the first encounter, it entices with a lavish bouquet of dark fruits, featuring ripe blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of mocha, cedar, and a touch of vanilla.

With each sip, this wine unveils its opulent and multi-layered palate. Luscious black fruit, including black cherries and currants, takes center stage, harmoniously complemented by notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a subtle undercurrent of baking spices. Its fine-grained tannins provide structure without overpowering, while the wine's well-balanced acidity imparts vibrancy and liveliness.

The finish is enduring and luxurious, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit and a lingering note of sweet oak.

Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Proprietary Red Wine is based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It has lots of the classic 2021 density and depth and is full-bodied, with ample ripe black cherries, currants, flowery incense, chocolate, and sandalwood. Complex and beautifully textured, it has ripe tannins and a great finish. This classic Napa Valley red blend will be loved by readers, and while I suspect it will evolve for a decade, I see no reason to delay gratification.
