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.

A lot of ripe richness for the money. This Cabernet crafted by Thomas Rivers Brown is made up of 70% To Kalon fruit. It delivers rich aromatics and a mouth-coating palate. Hints of cocoa nibs, baking spice and plenty of oak-influenced vanilla accent dusty cherry aromatics. The palate is densely packed with dusty blackberry and plum. The finish is loaded with cocoa powder and Christmas cake and dark, dark chocolate. Undeniably drinkable, lush and silky.
