    “Another awesome wine from this amazing winery!!The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 3% Merlot. The principal component comes from the Champoux Vineyard in which the winery is a partner with contributions from the Klipsun and Taptiel Vineyards outstanding in their own right. It too was aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak. Opaque purple-colored it has a splendid perfume of violets wood smoke truffle Asian spices black cherry and black currant preserves. Opulent and mouth-coating the layers of complex flavors nearly hide enough tannin to support 8-10 years of additional cellaring. The oak tannin and acidity are beautifully integrated and the lengthy finish lasts for well over a minute. Purchasers no doubt will want to try a bottle immediately but this towering effort will not reach its peak until 2015 at the earliest and provide pleasure through 2040. I say this with confidence because a 1983 Quilceda Creek Cabernet tasted in May 2008 is at its peak now and should carry on for another 10-15 years. Quilceda Creek Vintners remains a model of consistency.”

    About Quilceda Creek

    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.
