Winemaker's Notes: The 2008 Quilceda Creek Columbia Valley Red Wine is a blend of declassified lots from an extraordinary vintage. The resulting medium-bodied wine displays black cherry fruit, vanilla extract, roasted herbs, lead pencil and smoke. Approachable now, this blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec, from <i>Champoux, Discovery, Galitzine, Klipsun, Palengat, and Tapteil Vineyards</i>, will best be enjoyed over the next 15 years.
