Sunshine State Berry
Quilceda Creek
Washington Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
This is the first time I've tasted this legendary producer, I have to admit, Quilceda Creek lives up to its reputation. There is a kind of restraint to this wine that is difficult to achieve in Washington State. Tasted blind, the 1998 could easily be mistaken for an aged Saint Julien. The nose is generous and complex, with aromatics of boysenberry, juniper berry, herb and spice notes. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with silky texture and layers of red and black seed-studded fruit. Cigar box and spice on the finish. — 12 years ago

Rays of sunshine. Candle wax, strawberry hard candy. High- acidity, light body, finishes with a thin string of light berry sweetness. Top 2 rose, up there with Lopez which it shares a certain waxy quality. — 11 years ago

Chief Storyteller, Wine.com
A super exciting, multi-dimensional wine! Deep ruby, garnet color; exotic black fruit aroma, with a complementary nudge of oak, berry-scented; medium bodied, firm and well built on the palate; dry, medium acidity, well balanced; complex flavors of red and black fruits, lots of flavor interest; medium finish. One of the great Pinot Noirs in the state, needs more time to gain further complexities. (Best Served: 2019-2027) [Composition: 100% Pinot Noir] [Winemaking Highlights: Multi-yeast fermentations (wild & cultured), 15% whole clusters, 100% malo-lactic fermentation in barrel; 65% new Burgundian French oak barrels; bottled without fining or filtration] [Production: 684 cases] [James Hall, Winemaker] — 11 years ago
