Quilceda Creek Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

A real insider’s secret amongst wine lovers, Quilceda Creek winery has an impressive reputation for Cabernet and has received more 100-point scores from Robert Parker than any other North American winery. The property was founded in 1979 by Alex and Jeannette Golitzin in an almost desert-like corner of Washington State.

Grape Varietals: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Region: Columbia Valley, Washington

Tasting Notes: As this slowly begins to unwind in the glass it releases gorgeous aromas of blackberries, dark plums and Creme de cassis that are accented by graphite, violets, herbs, sweet spices and mocha which all take shape beautifully. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated and incredibly fresh, with a round polished texture and a dense layered core of ripe dark fruits that expands seamlessly into the lavish finish. While the 2018 is already stunning to drink in its youth, it should ultimately go on to have a brilliant future ahead and evolve gracefully for at least two decades. Drink between 2036-2046.

Food Pairing: BBQ Ribs
