SCHRADAHHHH as they say in Boston.

Yes, THAT Schrader. The 2019 vintage earned Wine Spectator’s #1 Wine of the Year.

Led by 100-pt winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, the previous vintages have all hit mid to high 90 scores, and and while this is yet to be rated we have zero doubt it will be any different. Judging by the vintage, it has a good a chance of outshining previous renditions. If big, pedal to the metal, ultra concentrated beasts are you jam, you’re into this. It’s like a domesticated tiger, soft and powerful, cuddly and ready to bowl you over.

Possibly the best ‘second wine’ from any Napa cult source. While their wines sell for $300-400+ this costs a fraction of that.

It’s WORTH EVERY DANG PENNY in a time when so many things seem anything but…

This comes from the Oakville cult wine powerhouse that received 100-point scores from Wine Advocate across three consecutive vintages under the direction THE Thomas Rivers Brown! Double Diamond is their entry-level offering here, but it’s anything but entry-level in the grand scheme of things. It serves up that same plump, pure, downright seductive charisma you’d expect from arguably one of the world’s finest Cabernet producers.

Did we say it’s 70% from THE Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard?!

Dark as a tar pit in the glass, it sucks you in like one too. As Jeb says it has “incredibly sexy style” as it could not have been said better. Black currants, black cherry reduction, blackberry with nutmeg, vanilla crème, and some wild spicy mesquite type notes come bubbling to the surface too. There’s something truly unique and different about this wine. Hard to pin down exactly, but it’s unlike anything you have.

For nearly the same price that others are selling their HALF bottles, you can get a full 750 from us. But our allocation was ultra-limited, so please move quickly. It comes around once in a while, and never lasts long…
