Doubleback
Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
This wine is always tight on release. I hadn't had this vintage in 2+ years - still tight then. Decanted this for an hour. It was fabulous!

Zoom event with Drew Bledsoe and Josh McDaniels. Vertical from ‘07, ‘14, ‘15, ‘16, ‘17, ‘17 estate, and ‘18. All were exceptionally smooth and silky with good depth of fruit. Notes on the ‘07: inaugural vintage of Doubleback. third favorite of the night. 76% cab sauv, 13% merlot, 11% petite verdot. Lowest concentration of cab of all the vintages. Not much in the nose, Red fruit and earthy on the plate, extended into a long earthy finish. @Aaron Hamrock detected some taint on this one but I did not. We may have had some bottle variance as we were 2 deep with 21 people at the event.

Due to Doubleback owners background I broke this out on recent football weekend...gosh really disappointing just like your team’s loss in the playoffs. Flat, non distinctive, a miss

2007-inaugural vintage for Doubleback! Enjoyed a few days ago on my eldest son's 6th birthday.
Nice wine and enjoyable but not my favorite Doubleback vintage, albeit a special one!
