With Rib Eye Finky nose though a little less. Palate much better Pencil lead, cassis. 75 minutes in lots of dark blackberry. Finish is slightly clipped keeps the score down. At 150 minute mark some crushed flowers and glycerin. Have 3 more bottles and will try again in 2026

With Grilled Skirt Steak and Asparagus …. Funky nose, fairly straightforward nothing standsout but worked well with the food. Will try another bottle soon to see if it was just an anomaly.

(Quilceda Creek Red Wine Columbia Valley) Dark to the point of being opaque. A pretty nose with licorice, oak spices, blackberry, red fruit, and light floral notes. On the taste, an opulent, rich, outrageously textured wine with gobs of black fruit, chocolate, and spice. Very tightly compact on the palate at present. Shows a little heat at times. Give two to three years. 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec. 15.2% alcohol. To be released in Fall 2010.

Crumbled cork...ended up pushing through and decanting...wine was drinkable, though clearly past its prime...ended up dumping what we didn't consume.
