Quilceda Creek is one of the oldest family-owned and operated wineries in Washington State having been established by Alex Golitzin in 1978. The 2010 Columbia Valley Cabernet was sourced mostly from the revered Champoux Vineyard and in this iteration contains 1% Merlot. It is exceptionally concentrated and statuesque, with wonderful notes of crème de cassis, mocha, graphite and hallmark floral scents of lavender and violets. Full-bodied, multi-dimensional and seamlessly balanced this is will be quite something in a few more years.

Vinous
(15.2% alcohol): Bright, dark medium ruby. Brooding aromas of blackberry, cassis, espresso, graphite, bitter chocolate and licorice. Plush, dense and utterly seamless, boasting lovely lift and sweetness to the black raspberry, dark chocolate and licorice flavors accented by wild herbs. Wonderfully glossy, suave cabernet with a 3-D texture and outstanding depth; generous yet primary. Spreads out on the very long, building finish to saturate the palate with rich chocolatey tannins. For all its impressive richness, this cabernet retains a light touch that I have not necessarily found in warmer recent vintages of Quilceda Creek's flagship wine.Stephen Tanzer1st November 2013
