2001 Quilceda Creek Cabernet - 98 Pts!
Quilceda Creek Winery is one of Washington's most prestigious wine producers. The winery's focus is on Cabernet Sauvignon, which has been very well-received: the 2002 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon was the first American wine outside of California to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker.
The winery was founded in 1978 by Alex Golitzin, who was inspired to make wine by his uncle André Tchelistcheff, one of the most significant winemakers in California at the time. Alex Golitzin's son, Paul, began working at the winery in 1992 and is now the winemaker.

Robert Parker
| Rating | 98 RP - The dark ruby-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon 3150 cases contains 3% Cabernet Franc. This spectacular wine explodes from the glass with loads of flowers mostly violets cassis black cherries blackberries and underlying fresh herbs. Feeling like liquid satin on the palate it is broad densely-packed and has stupendous depth. A refined effort its medium to full-bodied personality is crammed with highly-detailed black fruits and loads of exquisitely ripe tannin. In addition the taster has the distinct feeling that this wine is holding much of its fruit in reserve... This blockbuster has it all! They've done it again!Each year as I get set to write about Quilceda Creek's newest releases I find myself at a loss for words since Robert Parker and I seem to have exhausted all the superlatives at our disposal over the years. Therefore I must repeat myself: There is no producer in the world that fashions Cabernet Sauvignons as consistently extraordinary as Quilceda Creek. |
