Description

Red Wine: 2013 | Doubleback | Cabernet Sauvignon (Magnum)

The 2013 is soft on the approach, but has excellent complexity. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon achieves this with both precision and powder. The wine has a delicious finish that lasts for over a minute. Alluring aromas of cassis, earth, spice, vanilla and flowers .Full-bodied, pure and nicely concentrated, it has a solid kick of ripe tannin.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This inky colored, sensationally textured and polished 2013 gives up classic young Cabernet notes of cassis, licorice, graphite, sweet oak and spring flowers. Full-bodied, pure and nicely concentrated, it has a solid kick of ripe tannin.

• James Suckling: This wine is a blend of fruit from six different vineyards across the valley. Alluring aromas of cassis, earth, spice, vanilla and flowers are followed by a structured palate.

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 rosé from Columbia Valley, and a Syrah – Viognier blend from Walla Walla and Columbia Valley fruit.
