Bledsoe Family Winery, Walla Walla Valley (Washington) Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

 After quarterbacking for the Patriots, Drew Bledsoe returned to his hometown in Walla Walla to start making wine.  He smartly hired Josh McDaniels to be the family’s winemaker, and every wine demonstrates the quality and dedication that you would expect from these two superstars.  This Cabernet Sauvignon is earthy and plush with deep, complex boysenberry, fig, and black currant notes.  Everything in this wine is well orchestrated from the depth of fruit flavors to the integration of oak.  If you like young powerhouse Cabernets, the fruit is accessible and this wine can be enjoyed without further aging.  If you like aged Cabernets, cellaring will only make it better.
