May 12, 2024 - Decanted for 2 hours. Deep purple and ruby in color this wine has a nose of blackberries, cassis and licorice with tobacco and smoke. On the palate the wine has black fruits, black cherry, plum with grippy tannins.Full bodied with a med to long finish. A great WA wine

April 22, 2024 - Drank this beauty last night with grilled tenderloin. Delicious as usual. QC is so consistently delicious. It is my all time favorite Cab producer.

March 15, 2024 - Excellent. A rich, cool climate cab. Subtle nose of dark cherry, menthol, tobacco and earth. Dark cherry, blackberry, cinnamon, tar, black pepper, and white pepper on the palate. Amazing length on the finish, especially with the zesty spice. Notable complexity and depth. Give this a 2 hour decant at least.

5/9/2012 (link) ***** points(Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Dark in color. As usual almost 100% varietal, Quilceda Creekâs 2009 flagship Cabernet Sauvignon contains aromas of black berry, dark chocolate, cassis, floral notes and a potpourri of spices. The palate is rich, ripe, and concentrated with plush fruit flavors and textured, incredibly refined tannins. A long, vibrant finish. Among the more immediately approachable of the recent releases with a very pretty understateness, this wine still has the stuffing to lay down in the cellar for decades to come. 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot. Champoux, Klipsun, Palengat, and Tapteil vineyards. Aged 22 months in French oak (100% new). 15.2% alcohol. Sampled at 67 degrees.
