By Sean Sullivan
(Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Palengat Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills) More ruddy in color than the Galitizine and Columbia Valley wines. When first opened, the nose is tight but still exquisite with dark chocolate, rich black cherries, and light herbal notes. A knock-out on the taste. Beautifully refined tannins along with abundant cherry flavors. Brings a bit of heat toward the finish. After five to eight hours decanting, a to-die-for nose with fresh ground espresso which jumps from the glass along with dark spices, licorice, and light herbs. An intense, weighted taste that is packed with fruit and tannins and is beautifully balanced. Lingers endlessly. An exceptional first release from this vineyard. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Palengat Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months. Bottled August 2008; released October 2009. 1

Bad cork, one of the worst I have ever encountered, butter soft as the worm went through it. It completely disintegrated. Fortunately, was able to strain the all the cork out, and the wine was not affected by the bad cork. Decanted for seven hours due to the cork situation. Dark fruit, tannin present, but fully integrated.

Wow. This aged beautifully. Rich but surprisingly light on its feet. The alcohol is in balance, which I was worried about at 15%+ but it’s not a concern in the least, and tasting blind I’d peg it under 14%. The tannins are darn near perfect. This is how you want a good cab to age. My only gripe is it could use a touch more acidity, and that may be a function of the riper style from the start, but with a little food, this is just a darn near perfect wine.

Wonderful well balanced Washington Cab. Mature dark fruits but also alcohol and acidity in great balance. Tannins are rounded velvety.
A very plush and enjoyable wine that still have years ahead of great drinking. But why wait??
