Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 Quilceda Creek

Professionele reviews

Vinous (98)

The 2023 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an understated beauty, mixing crushed stone and mint with dried roses and dusty black currants. It washes across the palate with an array of liquid violet florals and decadently ripe red and black fruits as a subtle spicy tinge adds cheek-pinching tension toward the close. It finishes with dramatic length and is pleasantly firm, with sweet tannins that tug at the palate without slowing the 2023's energetic momentum. This is an unbelievably pretty rendition of Quilceda Creek's Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2023 Quilceda Creek ‘Columbia Valley’ Cabernet Sauvignon mirrors the blend from ’22, with 90% coming from the Champoux Vineyard and the remainder sourced from the Mach One Vineyard. Stored in all new French oak barrels once on the nose this takes on creme de violette, and graphite notes alongside beautiful purple rose petals, walnut and shades of Black Forest cake. The palate is weightless and seamless throughout the drinking experience, as this has immense depth, and flavor complexity and flavor density with serious verve and length. A complete wine, enjoy this mesmerizing Cabernet Sauvignon over the next twenty years. If savoring now be sure to give this several hours in the decanter.
