Founded in 1978 by Alex Golitzin, Quilceda Creek is one of the oldest family-owned and operated wineries in Washington State. The Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is the premier offering and is considered one of the finest in the state. The 2002 is a sublime release with astonishingly deft balance between richness, power and finesse. There is ample intensity of sweet black fruits, subtle savoury nuances of lilacs, woodsmoke and exotic spices, and a gentle tannic undertow to make everything just so.
100 The Wine Independent
The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is a blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-brick, it charges out of the gate with maturing scents of baked blackberries and red currant jelly, leading to a cassis, cigar box and rose oil core, plus nuances of black truffles, beef drippings, clove oil, and rusty nails. The full-bodied palate is wonderfully pure, harmonious, and plush with lots of maturing black fruit flavors and a wonderfully intact structure, finishing long and fragrant. This simply stunning Cabernet still has plenty of cellaring potential and should drink beautifully over the next 12-15 years+.Lisa Perrotti-Brown12th March 2025
93 Vinous
(bottled in August of 2004; includes bits of merlot and cab franc) Bright ruby-red. Superripe aromas of cassis, black raspberry, minerals and chocolate. Rich, lush and expressive; superconcentrated but not at all heavy. In fact, this broad, suave wine offers a compellingly silky texture. Finishes impressively rich, dry and long, with firm but fine-grained tannins. Wait until 2010 before drinking this superb cabernet, by which time it may merit an even higher rating.Stephen Tanzer1st November 2005
