April 5, 2024 - Tasted blind with a side gathering of our regular tasting group. Double decanted for sediment and air. No one guessed the wine was as old as it was. The best showing of any Quilceda Creek I've had. Going strong, it could be a 25 year wine in the 750 format.

March 30, 2024 - Popped and poured, no bricking, no funk, just beautiful deep purple color with a fresh nose of cherry, blue plums, lavender, and hints of leather. Oak treatment but very subtle. This wine was beautifully integrated with soft tannins and a long finish. Great mouth feel. Years left on this wine.

January 1, 2024 - Silky smooth berry forward cab. Alcohol a bit higher than I would prefer to make it more balanced. Very enjoyable over the course of the evening. Drink window is now IMO but would cellar fine for years to come.
