Description

1 bottle: 2006 Quilceda Creek Cabernet


"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard, located in the Red Mountain AVA, is 100% varietal. Dark ruby/purple in color, it delivers an enticing nose of pain grille, pencil lead, earth notes, spice box, violets, and assorted black fruits. On the palate it is dense, ripe, full-bodied, and structured. Still a bit tightly wound, it will reveal its full potential with another 5 to 7 years of cellaring. It will provide much pleasure from 2015 to 2026 at the least."


"After tasting a complete vertical of Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon," Robert Parker wrote "that the winery was producing Washington’s (and possibly America’s) finest Cabernet Sauvignon. Little has changed in the intervening years. The winery has been upgraded and the portfolio has been expanded, while quality remains at the summit."
