Doubleback WA ESTATE FOCUSED CABERNET SAUVIGNON SPECIALIST THE NICHE
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.
