Saturated dark ruby. Ultra-sexy, juicy, ripe raspberry, with notes of vanilla and toasty oak. Rich, velvety, and an absolutely intense mid-palate weight that is so pleasing. Cocoa, baking spices, and a lengthy, mouthwatering finish with soft and rich tannin. Loving this new vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2035.
Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot
Winemaker Josh McDaniels continues to fashion brilliant wines under the Doubleback label. The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and tiny amounts of Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Its deep purple hue is followed by a great bouquet of crème de cassis, graphite, liquid violets, sage, and crushed stone. One of the top wines in the vintage, it has remarkable purity, full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Drink this utterly brilliant 2020 over the coming two decades.
Made with 6% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a rich, lively, expressive nose of black raspberry, oak and red florals that sway with sweet herbs and elegant baking spices. Full-bodied, fresh and still tannic, the wine will take a couple more years to come around but will be a juggernaut once it picks up momentum. After spending almost two years in 87% new French oak barrels, it will need some time, so be patient.
Notes of currants and blueberries with violets, toasted walnuts and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and crunchy with ripe tannins and a lingering, blue-fruited finish. Drink now.
Ripe black fruit driven nose with delicate oak spices, notes of violets and dark cherries. Structural palate with ripe muscular tannins.
