A Doubleback Dream
£400.00
per case of 6
Winemaker: Drew Bledsoe
1 X Elizabeth Chardonnay 2020: Citrus notes like lemon rind galore, fresh melon, sliced apples, and layers and layers that keep evolving. There is fantastic acidity, tension, and freshness that lingers and continues to build on itself in ultra-refreshing ways. 50% new and neutral French oak barrels and 50% stainless steel. Aged sur lie for 9 months. £44/bt
1 X Bledsoe Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2019: Dark ruby in the glass, it opens up aromatically in the same fashion. Dark fruits like blackberry and Bing Cherry, followed up by graphite, wood shavings, and baking spice. Ultra-balanced with long, fine-tannins and great acidity. The finish on this wine is incredible – which is something that I love about great Cabernet. Drink now through the next 15-20 years. £54/bt
1 X Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon 2019: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec – this vintage was a true testament to the strength of their estate sites. On October 9th a fall frost event wiped out most of Eastern Washington, yet the estate blocks that were still on the vine were in absolutely perfect condition. Deep ruby in color with sexy aromatics. Sandalwood, fresh cherry, undertones of vanilla and pencil shavings are framed by plum and underlying hints of tobacco. The wine is elegant with fine grained tannins but does not sacrifice on full bodied richness – absolutely drinking well now but will age through 2041. £102/bt

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”.
