Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon 14
A beautifully dark and saturated color that leads into aromatics of raspberry, blackberry cobbler, and cocoa powder. Digging deeper reveals sagebrush, menthol, and rosemary that evolves and opens with grace over time — a completely entrancing wine. A large mouthfeel of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and enticing length with perfect acidity for balance. Incredibly rich and lush, this wine is complex, ridiculously layered, and will age for years to come.
Being almost entirely from McQueen Vineyard, 2014 is a great testament to the strength of this site. Fractured basalt driven soils, the wind that thickens the skins and develops tannin, and a higher elevation that retains the acidity and allows for more hang time — Winemaker, Josh McDaniels, couldn’t be more proud of this wine.
