2003 Quilceda Creek Cabernet - 100 pts - 750ml
2003 Quilceda Creek Cabernet - 100 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 | 100 RP - Unlike some minuscule production "cult" wines or luxury cuvees culled from a winery's primary product that have earned perfect scores over the years Quilceda Creek's Cabernet Sauvignon is the winery's raison d'etre and is produced in significant quantities 3400 cases in 2002 3425 in 2003. For accomplishing this feat the Golitzens should be doubly proud. Darker colored and significantly more powerful than the 2002 the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon displays mouth-watering aromatics of black chocolate sage and blackberry liqueur. Its awe-inspiring core of cassis liqueur violets blueberry nectar black cherry syrup and chocolate is immensely muscular yet elegant. Texturally reminiscent of liquid velvet it slathers the palate with oodles of fruit displaying unreal depth balance and length. Wow! |
