Upon his retirement from the NFL in 2007, Drew Bledsoe "doubled back" to his hometown of Walla Walla, Washington to realize a long held dream. Drew and his Wife, Maura, purchased a piece of property on the southern edge of the Walla Walla Valley AVA and subsequently launched Doubleback as an estate focused winery with the goal of crafting America's best Cabernet Sauvignon in an elegant, true to varietal way. Drew had long been planning for this moment during his years playing football and success came immediately as the very first vintage earned a spot in Wine Spectator's Top 100 List.
Watching over four estate vineyards within the Walla Walla Valley, each one representing a unique soil series, elevation, aspect, and micro-climate in this small area. Each of these differences bring something truly special to the final blend. We farm these sites with our own incredible team that is wholeheartedly focused on building balanced ecosystems through sustainable and organic farming practices. We take the same focus in executing sustainable efforts to better our people and our own communities and truly believe these practices unequivocally lead to producing better wines.

| Robert Parker | A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 % Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon opens to a dense and chewy core with a firm dark fruit presence, offering aromas of black raspberry, blackberry and dark currant with a firm stony minerality and a generous helping of oak. Full-bodied, the wine is tight and rigid with a tannic structure before giving way to a tight frame of black fruit that will need some time to mellow. Concluding with a long, lingering finish, a mineral tension and tannic edge remain persistent on the palate with residual flavors of cedar and blackberry skin. |
