Bledsoe Family Winery Cabernet Walla Walla Washington 2023

"IN 2007, AFTER DREW’S RETIREMENT from the NFL our family planted our first vineyard, McQueen, and shortly after launched Doubleback, an estate focused winery that produces world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from the Walla Walla Valley, Drew’s hometown. It has now been more than ten years since we set out on this immensely rewarding adventure. Throughout those years we patiently cultivated our vision for the future. In our unwavering enthusiasm for the Walla Walla Valley, we have made the decision to create Bledsoe Family Winery – a sister project to Doubleback. During our time in Walla Walla, we strategically developed four estate vineyards – McQueen, Bob Healy, Lefore, and most recently, Flying B — each with its own exceptional set of characteristics. At the same time, we have established long-term sources from some of the valley’s oldest and most revered blocks of vines. For these reasons, we are compelled to push our boundaries to realize new wine varietals and to expand upon the standard of high-level wine growing and winemaking we have become known for. Our family has been blessed with a rich history of which our labels reference, incredibly loyal and supportive customers, and an extremely talented and dedicated team – led by Winemaker Josh McDaniels. As with Doubleback, we welcome and invite you to be a part of our family by enjoying the wines of Bledsoe Family Winery." - Bledsoe Family Winery Tasting Notes: Driven aromatically with red fruits—bright raspberry, fresh strawberries, and is followed by ultra pretty hints of perfumed lavender, sage, and herbs de Provence.
