2019 Doubleback Estate Reserve Red

98 JD

Featured Review
Based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Estate Reserve is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petite Verdot, and the rest other Bordeaux varieties. It's another gorgeous wine from McDaniels and sports a deep purple/ruby color as well as classic Cabernet notes of blackcurrants, graphite, lead pencil, Asian spices, and dried herbs and flowers. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, it reveals background chocolaty oak, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's a world-class Bordeaux blend from Washington State that will evolve for 25+ years. Bravo. Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Estate Reserve is an intense blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon with 25% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot, crafted by the talented Josh McDaniels. Needing a two-hour decant to be fully expressive, it reveals deep tar tones on the nose, alongside shades of blackberry cordial and crème de violette. Full-bodied and well-structured, with serious weight and finesse, it’s already showing well following some air. Enjoy this beauty over the next 20 years.

Aromas of blackberry, moss, ground clove and cassis. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Fresh acidity. Pleasant notes of chocolate and spice play off one another more and more as the palate goes on. 72% cabernet sauvignon, 25% petit verdot and 3% merlot. Drink now.

Wine Details for 2019 Doubleback Estate Reserve Red

Type of Wine Washington Red
Varietal Proprietary Blend : Proprietary Blend is a general term used to indicate that a wine is comprised of multiple grape varietals which are either “proprietary” to the winery or is blended and does not meet the required maximum or minimum percentage of a particular varietal. This also is the case for the grape’s place of origin, especially for region, appellation or vineyard designated wines. There are endless examples of blended wines which are labeled as “Proprietary Blend” and in conjunction with each region’s stipulated wine laws and regulations makes for a vast blanket for wines to fall into. Perhaps the simplest example is California; if a wine is to be labeled as Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, it is required to have at least 75% of the varietal (Cabernet Sauvignon) and 85% of the fruit must be cultivated from the Napa Valley wine district. If the wine does not meet the requirements, it is then labeled as Proprietary Blend.
Country US : As one of the most prolific and innovative wine regions in the world, America is a joy to explore. Most wine connoisseurs will agree that the nation's finest and most compelling wines are being produced today, which means that we have front-row seats to one of the most inspirational stories in wine history. While other regions tend to focus on specific wine styles and have somewhat strict rules as to which varietals you could grow, areas like California have few such restrictions in place. As a result, creative visionaries behind America's most reputable estates have been able to develop compelling, unique, and innovative styles, with a level of terroir expression that rivals even France's largest giants.
Region Washington : While California definitely owns the spotlight when it comes to excellent American wines, Washington winemakers should certainly not be underestimated. While their traditional focus was set firmly on refreshing, illustrious white wines, they've adopted French red varietals like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then, they've been achieving excellence in both categories and can compete with the world's most prestigious viticultural titans.

Flavor-wise, you can expect a healthy amount of variety when it comes to Washington's finest wines. From acidic and fruity bottles that can shake you up from even the deepest slumber or sadness to rich and ripe powerhouses that command the respect of everyone in the room after as much as a single whiff. Juicy raspberries that gently tickle your tongue, deep and noble blackberries, intense cherries and earthen oak - these are the flavors that characterize this region, despite the presence of an entire orchestral symphony of other aromatic notes. A sampling of fine wine from Washington is a lot like being seduced, so why not uncork one of these bottles for a potential or existing partner? With a drink of this quality, those romantic sparks will turn into a fireworks display, as your emotions are laid bare and intensified, and you make a connection that can last a lifetime.
