Quilceda Creek is one of the oldest family-owned and operated wineries in Washington State having been established by Alex Golitzin in 1978. The Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is their premier offering and is considered one of the finest in the state. The 2008 displays wonderful clarity and precision, with deeply concentrated black fruits, blueberry compote, dark chocolate, rose petal and lavender. As ever it is bestowed with expertly judged tannins and acidity, ensuring excellent potential longevity.

Vinous
(cabernet sauvignon blended with 2% merlot): Good full red-ruby. Complex, slightly high-toned aromas of plum and brown sugar. Wonderfully sweet but firmly built; dense, smooth and complex, with the terrific definition of the 2008 vintage at its best. A hint of nutty ripeness is countered by a lively suggestion of eucalyptus. This is harmonious from day one. Comes across as less sweet than the Palengat, finishing with great length and breadth but no undue weight, and spreading out to coat the mouth with flavor.Stephen Tanzer1st November 2011
