Quilceda Creek is one of the oldest family-owned and operated wineries in Washington State having been established by Alex Golitzin in 1978. The 2012 Columbia Valley Cabernet is a bold and powerful release with wonderful layers of cassis, black cherry, cigar smoke, graphite and exotic spices. With huge richness and concentration, it is pinned together by a sublime tannic framework and peps of acid brightness. This wine has become a standard bearer for Washington State and continues to be one of the most consistently exceptional quality releases coming out of North America.
98 The Wine Independent
"A hard freeze had taken out a lot of vines in our Champoux Vineyard in 2012," said winemaker Mark Kaigas. ""So, this vintage has more fruit from Red Mountain." Deep garnet in color, after a little swirling, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley reveals the most beautiful perfume of iris bulb, rose bud tea, Morello cherries, and anise, giving way to a blackcurrant jelly and plum preserves core. The palate is full-bodied and powerful with a refreshing backbone to balance and firm, fine-grained tannins, finishing long and fragrant.Lisa Perrotti-Brown12th March 2025
95 Vinous
(15.2% alcohol): Bright, deep, dark ruby. Penetrating aromas of dark berries, violet, minerals and fruity tropical dark chocolate. Boasts outstanding intensity without any rough edges, showing superb thrust and grip to its youthfully powerful flavors of blueberry, minerals and spices. Finishes with huge tannins that dust the front teeth without coming off as dry. The pH here is around 4.0, according to Paul Golitzin, but this spectacular young Cabernet boasts plenty of energy and is likely to be long-lived.Stephen Tanzer1st November 2015
