Behind
The Wine
We first heard about Drew Bledsoe’s ‘Doubleback’ from our good friend Jennifer Williams-Bulkeley, based in Boston, Massachusetts. Drew used to play Quarterback for the New England Patriots and was a great hero of the game, eventually handing over the reins to Tom Brady due to injury.
Discover our
Sporting Connection
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 Winemaker
We at Doubleback are very excited that our first venture with the UK market is teaming up with Sporting Wine Club. We love the concept and having recently watched our New England Patriot team at Twickenham, the home of rugby, we can’t wait to build on this sporting relationship.
