LeFore
"Originally planted in the late 1990’s, this vineyard is on the eastern side of the Rocks District of Milton Freewater, a sub-AVA of the Walla Walla Valley. This area is completely underrated for Cabernet Sauvignon and has been a large piece of Doubleback since 2009, when we first started with this site. Wines from here are sexy, largely aromatic of dried herbs and tobacco, with lush and long tannins. Cabernet from here is a stunner on its own but also a perfect complement to our McQueen estate."
