(Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard Red Mountain) When first opened the nose is fairly shut down showing herbal notes, black licorice, a fair amount of alcohol, and high-toned cherry aromas. Very well put together on the taste with plush tannins. The only detraction is a slight dip in the mid-palate 2/3 of the way through. After decanting for five to eight hours, an aromatic powerhouse with cherry, strong black licorice, dried flowers, and herbal notes. An intense, tightly wound taste that pours around the sides of the palate and then rushes through the middle. The slight dip in the middle is all that holds this wine back. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Galitzine Vineyard, Red Mountain AVA. Aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months. Bottled August 2008; released October 2009.

Color: Deep purple/ruby was surprised that this was still "purplish" with no bricking. Solid core.
Nose .- blew out of the glass, red fruit, stewed plums, some pyrazine underneath ..
Palate/Finish: nice fruit on the front end, the mid was a bit dry and slightly hot...medium-full in the mouth, medium tannins with a nice finish ...
I think this will get better after being open a few hours... I only gave it 1-2 hours ...

Really nice wine. Slow ox for 1hr and drank over 4hrs - paired with braised short rib. Probably at peak. Don't see this improving any more. Drink up.

In a great place, still with nice dark fruit, blackberry with added notes of cedar and spice, good mouth feel, integrated tannins, long finish.

Very dark red color. PNP, drank a glass plus over 2 hours. I really like the nose here, there's a woodsy perfume with dried cedar, cassis and plum and anise. The full bodied palate shows blue fruits and blackberries, cassis, tar, with a stong wood streak from the mid to back end that creates a wall of wood spice, anise and some drier austere tannins on the finish. Love the nose, but I think this was probably better a couple years ago when the fruit could balance the oak and structure more. Drink now.
