Washington Cabernet Sauvignon

Shared with me by one of Washington’s great winemakers, Chris Peterson, the 1999 Quilceda Creek Cabernet is absolutely singing at twenty years of age. The palate still shows wonderful freshness with lighter wild blackberry tones and a beautiful range of non-fruit flavors from wild mushroom and dried herbs to pipe tobacco and even creosote. This beautiful wine will continue to evolve well over the next decade. Drink 2019-2028- 95

Just what I expect from Quilceda--brambly aromas with elegant black fruits and a silky smooth finish. Despite the age, it never disappoints.

Oh yes. Mellow. Lovely. What I would have expected.

Washington State - bravo! So youthful and classic

First QC I've actually enjoyed. Leather, earth, cedar...

Stewed dark fruit, red fruit, graphite, black olives and cedar. Bottle of the evening. From magnum.

Old Bordeaux. First time having QC. 😳

So much life left

One of my favorite USA wines. Always 97/100 or more......respect!

Certainly the most expensive bottle of wine I've ever had the pleasure of drinking.
