Red Wine: 2014 | Doubleback | Cabernet Sauvignon (Magnum)
A beautifully dark and saturated color that leads in to aromatics of raspberry, blackberry cobbler and cocoa powder. Digging deeper reveals sage brush, menthol and rosemary that evolves and opens with grace over time a completely entrancing wine. A large mouthfeel of dark fruit, dark chocolate and enticing length with perfect acidity for balance. Incredibly rich and lush, this wine is complex.

Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: One of the gems in this terrific vintage, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Walla Walla AVA. It offers fabulous notes of black currants, chocolate, toasted spice and graphite. Full-bodied, deep, layered and gorgeously pure, with plenty of heft, it's an incredibly good.
- James Suckling: Alluring aromas of macerated cherries, scorched earth, coffee, barrel spice and dark chocolate are followed by supple, focused, concentrated dark-fruit flavors. It brings some tannic heft.
Producer Information
Doubleback Winery is a Washington wine producer located in Walla Walla Valley, owned by former NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe. It focuses on Bordeaux-style wines particularly Cabernet Sauvignon and has a portfolio of estate-grown and externally sourced fruit from vineyards in Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley. The winery was founded in 2007 when Bledsloe purchased the McQueen Vineyard. The estate's first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon was produced that same year with the help of Bledsoe's childhood friend and winemaking consultant, Chris Figgins of Figgins Family Wine Estates. The McQueen Vineyard spans 20 hectares (50 acres) of land, planted to some 6ha (14 acres) of vines. The site is primarily planted to Cabernet Sauvignon for the estate's flagship Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon, but includes blocks of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec for blending. The soils are composed of glacial loess over fractured basalt. Other vineyards within the estate's holdings include the Bob Healy, Flying B and Lefore vineyards. Doubleback release a limited quantity of the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon each vintage. The wine is produced with small percentages of Petit Verdot and Malbec and ages for 22 months in French oak barrels, 75 percent new. Doubleback also produces a red Bordeaux-style blend, a ros from Columbia Valley, and a Syrah Viognier blend from Walla Walla and Columbia Valley fruit.
