Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a powerhouse of flavor, elegance, and structure. This wine is crafted with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, primarily sourced from the famed Champoux Vineyard (90%) and Mach One Vineyard (10%) in Columbia Valley. Winemaker Mark Kaigas has created a truly remarkable expression of Washington Cabernet, showcasing richness, depth, and precision.

In the glass, this wine presents a deep, nearly opaque purple hue that hints at its intensity. The nose bursts with blackberry, black cherry, cassis, and ripe plum, layered with intricate aromas of violets, sandalwood, soy, black truffle, walnut, and forest floor. These earthy and floral elements add to the wine’s complexity, making every swirl of the glass a discovery.

The first sip is silky yet powerful, coating the entire palate with waves of dark fruit, graphite, and a touch of licorice. The texture is broad and luxurious, with finely polished tannins providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. The mid-palate unfolds with lavender, crushed stone, and subtle spice, while the balanced acidity gives a refreshing lift to the wine’s impressive concentration. The finish is long and seamless, with lingering notes of dried blueberries, dark chocolate, and a whisper of tobacco.
