By Sean Sullivan
(Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Dark in color. As usual almost 100% varietal, Quilceda Creek’s 2009 flagship Cabernet Sauvignon contains aromas of black berry, dark chocolate, cassis, floral notes and a potpourri of spices. The palate is rich, ripe, and concentrated with plush fruit flavors and textured, incredibly refined tannins. A long, vibrant finish. Among the more immediately approachable of the recent releases with a very pretty understateness, this wine still has the stuffing to lay down in the cellar for decades to come. 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot. Champoux, Klipsun, Palengat, and Tapteil vineyards. Aged 22 months in French oak (100% new). 15.2% alcohol. Sampled at 67 degrees.

Excellent. A rich, cool climate cab. Subtle nose of dark cherry, menthol, tobacco and earth. Dark cherry, blackberry, cinnamon, tar, black pepper, and white pepper on the palate. Amazing length on the finish, especially with the zesty spice. Notable complexity and depth. Give this a 2 hour decant at least.

Second bottle I’ve had in last 6 months and my notes from first bottle still apply. Still very high tannin levels that overpower the fruit. Tannin lasts at least a minute in my mouth anyway. Back end of this wine is still almost sour and comes across with very high alcohol. Maybe this comes around but for me one of the least desirable Quilceda I’ve had.

Really coming of age. Rich gripping deep red fruit with forest floor and game and long finish make this superior.
