Bledsoe & McDaniels Pinot Noir Case

Drew Bledsoe

£600.00

per case of 6

Tasting Notes: This was a fantastic vintage in the Willamette Valley and this winehails from our two favorite regions- Ribbon Ridge and Eola-Amity Hills. Slightly darker in color than our estate, this wine is screaming of fresh blueberries, black tea, and hints of forest floor and fennel seed. Again, soft, chewy and sweet tannins, great acid, all building to a larger and long finish. Decant to drink now and drink through 2038

Food Pairing: Classic pairings for American pinot noir are turkey and many mushroom based dishes. The ripe fruit and great acid also pairs well with the fattiness of duck or pork.

APPELLATION: Willamette Valley

VINEYARD SOURCES: Coulee Elton Ridgecrest Wind Ridge LS Estate

BLEND PROFILE: 100% Pinot Noir

BARREL/AGING PROGRAM: 48% new French oak for 17 months

PRODUCTION Bottling Date: Februrary 2023 Release Date: Fall 2023 Alcohol: 14.1% Cases Produced: 1175

Description

Winemaker 

For former NFL Quarterback Drew, owning a winery has been a long-time aspiration that would allow him to combine his passion for fine wine and love of the Walla Walla Valley. In 2008, Drew launched Doubleback, an estate-focused winery with the goal of producing ultra-premium cabernet sauvignon from the Walla Walla Valley. To make this dream a reality, Drew collaborated with his childhood friend Chris Figgins of Figgins Family Wine Estates. Chris consulted on all winemaking and vineyard practices while training current winemaker, Josh McDaniels, who assumed the role in 2015. Since its first release, Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon has received numerous accolades most recently 99 points from Robert Parker and 96 points from Decanter. The vision for Doubleback remains to be a premium wine experience completely focused on quality. The somewhat patriotically named Elizabeth Chardonnay is one of our top white wine selections.

The Sporting Connection:

Drew Bledsoe is best known as the starting quarterback and face of the New England Patriots from 1993 to 2001. Drew then went on to play for the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys before retiring from the sport in 2007. For his accomplishments in New England, he was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2011. That “success” is something of an understatement and typical of Drew’s humble nature. A four-time Pro Bowler and Superbowl winner in 2001, he played fourteen seasons in the NFL. The name ‘Doubleback’ derives from Drew’s life journey. In his own words: “Doubleback is purely about a small-town kid that grows up in Walla Walla, goes off and has some success and then doubles back and comes back home”.
