2022 Double Diamond Sauvignon Blanc 750ML
2022 Double Diamond Sauvignon Blanc 750ML The inaugural release of the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc showcases, yet again, the mark of excellence from winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. The nose is fresh and inviting with notes of green apple, melon, white peach, and citrus zest enveloped by delicate hints of fresh leafy herbs, such as Thai basil and mint. The palate mirrors this freshness and is balanced with notes of pithy stone fruit and grapefruit. Its structure shows length and layers, roundness and raciness, leaving you with a lingering saline finish.
Winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown is the King of Napa. He has made more 100 point Napa Cabs than any other winemaker in the last twenty years. He started out at Turley and took off from there. His biggest success has been with Schrader which have become some of the most collected Napa Cabs made today. He had huge success with Double Diamond Cabernet from Schrader, named Wine Spectator’s number one wine on their Top 100 and has decided to make a Double Diamond Sauvignon Blanc to go with the Cab, very much in line with the great Bordeaux houses who make great whites from Sauvignon Blanc. This is the inaugural release of the Schrader Double Diamond Sauvignon Blanc 2022 and yet again showcases the mark of excellence of Thomas Rivers Brown. This is the first white wine made at Schrader and its superb, surprisingly complex and acid driven, fresh and alive with classic wet lime stone and grassy notes, zippy on the finish with gorgeous fruit throughout. The wine represents the height of Summer California white wine drinking. Small production, selling out fast with the release anticipation.
