Here is the beautiful 2017 Doubleback.

Cellar Selection: 2017 Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon

October 18, 2024

For those with their hands in the sand, Doubleback was founded by NFL legend Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe has been in the limelight in the past year, helping participate in the Roast of Tom Brady   (which was a huge hit this year on Netflix). A fellow Barolo enthusiast, Bledsoe has a great palate and is a great dude to chat wine with.

Doubleback winery relies in the winemaking talents of former Leonetti Cellar assistant Josh McDaniels. He is easily one of the Pacific Northwest’s best winemakers. The wine I tasted from my cellar was the 2017 Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon. 2017 was a good vintage for red wines, sandwiched between two great vintages. There were some smoke issues with some reds in 2017 but this wine was not impacted. The wine is brooding, intense and is very driven by non-fruit flavors. It is a stunner, one that has a really long life ahead of it. Learn more about the wines at doubleback.com and here is my review of the 2017 Doubleback.

2017 Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon- The 2017 Doubleback is a show-stopping wine that has really come into its own in terms of drinkability. The wine was initially quite reticent and even now it benefits from 30 minutes of air. It is alive and thriving with lovely tar and tobacco leaf notes on the palate alongside dark chocolate shavings and a graphite edge. Full-bodied and beautifully textured, this will easily live on for another fifteen plus years. Drink 2024-2040- 95
