Quilceda Creek
Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, mint, vanilla, cedar, cola, licorice, eucalyptus and peppercorn.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, spices, graphite, peppercorn and black tea
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous 12 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain in Washington State. Complex and fruit forward. Rich and elegant.
I had a more recent vintage not too long ago, and it’s definitely better with age.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely fantastic now. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 7 years.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel and a gorgeous nose. Loved smelling on it. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and paired beautifully with the delicious Wagyu Steak.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in all new French oak barrels for 20 months.
15.2% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$180.

Preview of what's to come a decade from now. Going to be a beauty with some cellar time.

Mother’s choice on her day. This comes out hot. Hour and a half decant and the nose is more akin to whiskey than wine. Overt oak and the sting of alcohol. This is a young, young bad boy. The decant smoothed the tannins but the oak, alcohol, and unfocused extravagance will only mellow and integrate with time.
