Established in 1978, Quilceda Creek is one the greatest producers of Cabernet Sauvignon in Columbia Valley, Washington State. The 2015 is a sumptuous and broad-shouldered wine reflective of its vintage. It exudes delicious aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, violet flowers, bitter chocolate and crushed minerals. On the palate it is plush and full-bodied, with a deep core of fruit, wonderfully fine tannins and a long, complex finish.

Vinous
(72% of this wine came from Champoux vineyard): Dark red-ruby. Pungent aromas of ripe dark berries, licorice and cedary oak. Wonderfully suave and fine-grained, boasting terrific concentration, intensity and energy to its dark berry and African violet flavors. This very suave Cabernet finishes with terrific cocoa-powder length and substantial but refined mounting tannins. Paul Golitzin told me that he always aims to get two tons of fruit per acre--either by nature or through crop thinning. And he noted that his family now has full viticultural control over all of their properties. (15.2% on label, like all of the Quilceda Creek '15s)Stephen Tanzer1st November 2018
