2006 Quilceda Creek MerlotColumbia Valley more |
3/31/2024 - BobbaWA Likes this wine: 89 pointsFinally popped this with lamb roast for Easter. May have waited too long. A bit thin, raspberry fruit, and a tad acidic. |

2010 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
4/9/2023 - BobbaWA Likes this wine: 93 pointsHad a funky barnyard flavor. Drank side by side with a 2011 KB Sonoma, and this one was much more expressive. |

2018 Eagle Harbor Cabernet Sauvignon ReserveRed Mountain more |
4/8/2023 - BobbaWA Likes this wine: 90 pointsGil pointed out the alcohol was high at over 16%, which made me notice the "heat." Spice and cedar on the finish. Tasted better after about an hour. |

2019 J. Bookwalter Cabernet Sauvignon Volume NineColumbia Valley more |
3/22/2023 - BobbaWA Likes this wine: 89 pointsAgain, an unusual example of Washington Cabernet. Leads with cherry, spice, and cedar. This bottle seemed smoother and more enjoyable than the last one we opened. |

2004 Quilceda Creek Red Wine Columbia ValleyRed Bordeaux Blend more |
1/14/2023 - BobbaWA Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrank side by side with our last 2003 QC red, and this one too, was a crowd pleaser. Perhaps more fruit than the '03, and less spice. More blackberry, less plum. I've got one more bottle of '04, and will open it next year! |

2003 Quilceda Creek Red Wine Columbia ValleyRed Bordeaux Blend more |
1/14/2023 - BobbaWA Likes this wine: 92 pointsI figured 20 years was long enough to wait from vintage to opening this bottle. It exceeded expectations! Lots of fruit and structure, with cassis and plum. Stone and cedar flavors as well. Last one, and quite enjoyed it! |

2019 J. Bookwalter Cabernet Sauvignon Volume NineColumbia Valley more |
11/16/2022 - BobbaWA Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis wine is kind of weird for a Washington cab - it doesn't have a deep texture, but rather has a lighter heft than most. There's blackberry fruit, but a tight, tart, cedar-spice finish. Price per satisfying gulp ratio is way too high. |
