Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2022

With a kiss of volatility on the nose, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon offers generous and layered aromas of juicy black fruit with hints of dusty redcurrant with blackberry jus. Full-bodied, the tannins are still ripe with a...

Wine Enthusiast, September 2014

This is Doubleback’s first vintage to include estate-grown grapes in the blend. Truffle, mocha and ripe purple-fruit scents explode from the glass. Ample acidity underscores the chewy tannins. A dense and ageworthy wine...

Wine & Spirits, December 2014

A big wine, from the first pour this possesses broad shoulders (like those of the former NFL pro who owns the brand, Drew Bledsoe). With a little air the wine becomes more high-toned and composed, the fruit relaxes...

Wine Spectator, October 2014

Chewy tannins accent a pulsing core of currant and mint in this version, gaining momentum on the long and expressive finish. This has presence and persistence. Needs cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2025. – HS

Owning a winery was been a longtime aspiration of Drew Bledsoe, a former NFL quarterback, since it would allow him to combine his passion for fine wine and love of the Walla Walla Valley. Returning to his hometown in 2007, he planted his estate vineyard, McQueen, in SeVein Vineyards of Distinction. The following year, he launched Doubleback, an estate-focused winery, to produce ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon from the Walla Walla Valley. It has since received numerous accolades including a spot on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list.

The estate’s McQueen Vineyard spans 50 acres, planted to 14.4 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Acquired in 2011, the Bob Healy Vineyard is planted to 9.7 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec made from estate-grown and sourced fruit, Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in 75% new French oak and 25% second fill French oak barrels for 22 months.
