One of our most recent development in Walla Walla and the estate vineyard that surrounds our Doubleback winery. Flood sediments overlay river cobbles that stress the vines later in the growing season and sit from 990 to 1,015 feet in elevation. One of our favorite aspects of this vineyard is that it sees the highest temperatures of all of our estate sites, but also the lowest - enormous diurnal temperature swings that create truly unique wines. We absolutely love this site’s ability to balance out these warmer vintages that we are experiencing.
Grape Varietals:
Syrah, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot
90 Points - Cellar Tracker
89 Points - Wine Enthusiast, January 2018. "Coming from a hot vintage, the aromas bring notes of blackberry jam, coffee, fruit rollup, flower and herb. The tannins are quite firm, showing a bit of astringency out of the gate but settling down with some time open. Despite the warmth of the vintage, it brings a pleasing sense of acidity."
