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. — 11 years ago
