2018 | Double Eagle | Cabernet Sauvignon

The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Double Eagle Red rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notions of ripe red and blackcurrants, chocolate-covered cherries and mulberries plus hints of menthol, pencil lead and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling, crunchy black fruits, framed by grainy tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and lifted.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Made from 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot, this is a powerful, brooding and full-bodied wine, this vintage the first made with the help of Atelier Melka. Leather, cedar and cigar make it supremely earthy and savory, with notes of black currant and berry matched by toasted oak and grippy tannin.

• Jeb Dunnuck: Based on 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot, the 2018 Double Eagle Red Wine reveals a dense purple color as well as ripe, powerful notes of black and blue fruits, toasted spice, graphite, candied violets, and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and nicely balanced, it has ripe tannins, plenty of freshness, and the class to evolve for 15-20 years.

Producer Information

Double Eagle combines two passions of David Grieve and Vance Rose; it is the rarest of golf shots and it is also their evocative Bordeaux blend. Double Eagle is produced from Merlot grapes grown in the Grieve Family Vineyard in Lovall Valley, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in other areas of Napa Valley. Accessible only from Sonoma, yet located in Napa, Lovall Valley sits at 650 feet above sea level and is bordered on the west by Arrowhead Mountain. Huichica Creek runs the length of the valley bisecting the vineyard. The vineyard was planted in 1980, and in 1983 was adjoined with the neighboring parcel of 10 acres to create what is now Grieve Family Vineyard. Today, the vineyard consists of 16.73 planted acres, 12.23 of Sauvignon Blanc and 4.49 acres of Merlot.
