Crafted entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon and sourced mainly from the celebrated Champoux Vineyard, this is a serious, age-worthy wine with both concentration and harmony. It reflects Quilceda Creek’s uncompromising quality philosophy and the outstanding conditions of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine is deeply colored, nearly black, hinting at its concentration and intensity. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry framed by notes of black truffle, violets, pencil lead, dark chocolate, and sweet pipe tobacco.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied, richly textured, and remarkably polished, with deep fruit wrapped around fine-grained tannins and beautifully integrated oak. The finish is long, elegant, and complex, showing both structure and balance. While already impressive, this is a wine with excellent aging potential and will continue to develop gracefully over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Cabernet Sauvignon comes primarily from the legendary Champoux Vineyard, with the remaining fruit sourced from Mach One Vineyards, both located in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA in Washington. The region’s warm, dry climate and well-suited soils provide ideal conditions for ripe, balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels, which adds depth, spice, and structure to the final blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine that pairs beautifully with richly flavored dishes such as grilled ribeye, roast lamb, braised short ribs, venison, or hearty mushroom-based preparations. It is best served at around 16-18°C, and decanting for at least 1-2 hours is recommended, especially if the bottle is opened now rather than cellared further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuilceda Creek is one of Washington State’s most respected Cabernet Sauvignon producers, known for producing small quantities of highly focused, age-worthy wines.
