Great wine, but a little past its prime. Drink now.

Tantalizing dark red color. Although labeled as a “Red Wine,” this vintage is actually 85% Cabernet Sauvignon (including grapes from Heart of the Hill vineyard). Very nice wine, especially for the price.

An OK red blend. Not great, not bad. Just ok. Will not disappoint or impress.

No pronounced aroma, but a fantastic wine. One of my all-time favorite Washington Cabernets. Simply delicious!

A wonderful Merlot-dominant Washington red with great nose and excellent balance. This wine is ready to drink now (2024). Enjoy!

Good, not great Cabernet Sauvignon. Appropriately priced at $20.

Not sure what others tasted in this wine (especially Jeb Dunnuck, 95 points), but it is unremarkable. Not bad, but not special.

Solid, pleasant Washington cabernet, but clearly overpriced at $50 / bottle.
Paul Zittarelli, your Block 1 wines are good, but not that good.

Wow! This wine is a wonderful surprise. It has classic Cabernet Sauvignon tone and nice character. It rivals or surpasses most good (and more expensive) American cabs.

Jeb Dunnuck’s rated this wine 99 points in 2017. While that may be generous, it is a wonderful, elegant wine. Drink now and enjoy this treasure from Sheridan.

Good but not great wine. Definitely do not agree with Jeb Dunnuck’s 95 point review. What was he drinking?

A good Washington Cabernet not yet passed it’s prime. Not worth $100, but pleasant nonetheless.

The bottle we drank with Christmas dinner had a distinctive off-taste not characteristic of this wine. Disappointing and unusual for Quilceda Creek.

Decanted for 2 hours and tasted then drank again 1 day later. A good wine, but not spectacular. Not up to the usual high standards of Quilceda Creek. Smooth and understated, but lacking in character. Definitely not worth the price.

Good Red Mountain Cabernet. Great nose, but lacks complexity and depth.
