It begins with captivating aromas of ripe blackberries and red\/dark currants, intertwined with nuances of crushed florals, graphite, tobacco, and a touch of licorice all unfolding as it opens. On the palate, the wine showcases a rich, full-bodied character, perfectly structured with finely polished tannins that create an incredibly smooth and seamless texture. The balance between power and finesse is remarkable, with concentrated flavors harmonized by a subtle, refreshing acidity that brings a lift to the experience and extends through the luxurious finish. While already impressive in its youth, this Cabernet promises to age gracefully for decades. Quilceda Creek continues to define excellence in Washington Cabernet, and this release is a testament to their well-earned reputation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1821gv5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1j6tmez\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-rttzwj\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-1r6kumv\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-xiq7hi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body2 mui-style-1izmxor\"\u003eThe 90% Champoux grapes in the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley contribute classic Cabernet aromatics of sandalwood and dried herb, while the full-bodied palate builds a richness of raspberry and cassis. (The other 10% of the grapes are sourced from Mach One.) The texture and tannins are elegantly polished, beautiful, and sexy, the oak providing a frame for the wine but not impeding otherwise. With a lengthy finish, it should easily age another 20-30 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1821gv5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1j6tmez\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-rttzwj\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-1r6kumv\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-xiq7hi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body2 mui-style-1izmxor\"\u003eA minty flourish gives way to dusty blackberries, lavender, violets and hints of crushed stone as the delicate and refined 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley blossoms in the glass. Elegant and silken in form, this impresses most for its graceful persona, more red fruit than black, as a crunch of minerality adds traction throughout. The 2022 comes across as totally classic, leaving fine-grained tannins to flex upon the palate as blue and purple inner florals resonate over tinges of sweet spice and dried blueberries. This is a gorgeous interpretation of the vintage, yet patience is required.
