La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 93 points
July 7, 2023 - Still a youthful opaque ruby blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec, Quilceda Creek's 2014 CVR remains loaded with cassis, dark bramble fruits, baking spices, tree bark, licorice and bittersweet chocolate. Full-bodied, freshly acidic, proportionately oaked and with well-integrated alcohol (despite being listed as 15.2%), it wraps its flavors with an abundance of fine-grained tannins and stays solid on the mid-palate. Long, plump and vibrant on the back end, this is an outstanding wine that performs well above its pay grade. Enjoy it throughout the remainder of this decade. Drink now-2030.
