Having already established one of the most successful wineries in America, Fred Schrader created Double Diamond as part of his continuing quest to make the best Cabernet Sauvignon that Napa Valley can offer back in 2001.
He tasked acclaimed winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown with the winemaking duties and let him execute his own vision. Needless to say, it has paid off tremendously. This unique expression of the region carries on the tradition of earning critical acclaim and drawing passionate fans that Fred began in 1998 with Schrader Cellars. After a three-year hiatus, Double Diamond returned by popular demand in 2018. And the next vintage, their 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon ended up as Wine Spectator’s #1 Wine of 2022.
