Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Review | Washington State's Best Red Wine | Columbia Valley AVA | Luxury Wine Merchant. :

 

Washington State's Premier Cult Cabernet

The Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Red stands as Washington State's definitive statement in luxury winemaking. Consistently lauded with top critical scores, this wine is a true American icon, showcasing the potential of the Columbia Valley terroir. The meticulous vinification process, including exclusive aging in new French oak, results in a wine of immense concentration and profound elegance.

Sommelier's Tasting Profile (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: A deep, saturated, almost impenetrable inky purple hue.
• Nose: Richly fragrant, offering layered complexity of cassis, black cherry, pencil lead, and well-integrated spice from the new oak.
• Palate: Full-bodied and authoritative, yet surprisingly supple. The structure is built on powerful, yet beautifully refined tannins. The fruit is concentrated, leading to a seamless, exceptionally long finish with nuances of dark chocolate and forest floor.

Serving Suggestion

As a wine of this calibre, it benefits greatly from being decanted for two to three hours. Serve at a cellar temperature of 17°C (63°F) alongside a classic British Sunday Roast or a refined game dish.
