Washington Wine Report

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.

Decanted for two hours. Black fruit, vanilla and cassis are present on the nose and palate. Long finish. This wine is certainly at it's peak or close. Drinking so well now.

Xmas eve tasting w pellet grill prime rib, and retaste 2nd night.
2010 larkmead LMV
2008 Nicolas catena zapata
2009 insignia
2009 QC
I’m shocked to say that the best wine was the catena... ripe, balanced, not a blockbuster, but no flaws.
Insignia was flat, the palate was of little interest.
LMV was second best, a little more round on the palate.
QC is always solid, but the fruit profile (to my palate) delves into burnt, black fruits which is not my favorite.

Magnum from Arnie. Decanted about six hours. Definitely at peak. Soft tannins, showing vanilla and dark fruits. Lacks the brightness from previous bottle two years ago but still excellent. Need to make magnums standard bottle going forward.
