2014 Doubleback Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley

(97 Points) --  (Wine Advocate)

One of the gems in this terrific vintage, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Walla Walla AVA. It offers fabulous notes of black currants, chocolate, toasted spice and graphite. Full-bodied, deep, layered and gorgeously pure, with plenty of heft, it's an incredibly good, even profound, effort to drink over the coming two decades. Hats off to the team for this beauty, and if you can find it, buy it. A collaboration between Chris Figgins and football star Drew Bledsoe, Doubleback consistently makes one of the top Cabernet Sauvignon releases in just about every vintage. This 2014 is unquestionably the greatest wine to date from this estate. (JD)  Review Date: 06/2017
