Wine Description
Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a standout wine that combines tradition with a modern twist, brought to life under the watchful eye of winemaker Alex Stewart. This exquisite bottle is crafted at the esteemed Quilceda Creek winery, located in the heart of Washington’s wine country. It’s a wine that captures the essence of its region, providing an unforgettable tasting experience.
The Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, primarily sourced from the Champoux Vineyard (90%) with a small but significant contribution from the Mach One Vineyard (10%), is a testament to the quality of these vineyards. The wine undergoes meticulous aging for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels, ensuring that each sip delivers a depth of flavor and a complexity that is truly remarkable.
Upon pouring, the wine presents a mesmerizing color palette that captures the eye, deep and inviting. The aroma is a lavish bouquet of mint, black fruit, cinnamon, and sandalwood, with an undercurrent of blueberry and floral notes that promise an engaging tasting journey. This fragrance is the prelude to a tasting experience that is both rich and harmonious.
The palate is greeted with a blend that is nothing short of spectacular. The Creek Cabernet Sauvignon carries flavors of dark red and black fruits, elegantly intertwined with subtle notes of rosemary and spice, all balanced by a vibrant acidity that adds a fresh dimension to the wine. The texture is silky, with fine tannins that weave through the tasting experience, providing a structure that is both firm and inviting.
Critical acclaims for this wine underscore its exceptional quality. James Suckling awarded it a stunning 98 points, highlighting its seamless integration of flavors and beautifully integrated tannins. Vinous praised its elegance and depth, giving it 96 points for its bombshell aroma and long, staining finish. Owen Bargreen’s perfect score of 100 points celebrates the wine’s generous palate, concentrated fruits, and elegant mouthfeel, calling it a “show stopper” and possibly the finest Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ever tasted.
The Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is more than just a wine; it’s a reflection of meticulous viticulture and winemaking. The winery, with its commitment to excellence, has once again proven its ability to produce world-class wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon, with its rich layers of flavor and impeccable balance, is a proud addition to the Quilceda Creek wine portfolio.
Previous vintages of Quilceda Creek wines, including the renowned 2020 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon and the exceptional 2014 Quilceda Creek Cabernet, have set a high bar for quality and excellence.

The 2018 vintage further solidified Quilceda Creek’s reputation, highlighting the winery’s commitment to producing premier Washington State wines that are both expressive and memorable.
The Quilceda Creek Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from prestigious sites like the Palengat and Wallula Vineyards, encapsulates the essence of the region with its lush profiles of red and black fruit, notably black currant. This full-bodied wine, crafted under the expertise of Paul Golitzin, director of winemaking, beautifully integrates the structure of Cabernet Franc with the intensity of Champoux, Lake Wallula, and Palengat vineyards. As enthusiasts look forward to securing their bottles through en primeur futures, it’s important to note that shipping rates vary for destinations, including considerations for PGK (Papua N Guinean Kina). The price, once set, includes the wine being bottled and stored with the producer, though it excludes shipping and tariffs, and purchasers should check with duty and sales tax. This careful attention to detail ensures each bottle of Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia is a testament to Quilceda Creek’s commitment to excellence, stored and ready for those who appreciate the finer nuances of Washington State’s terroir.
