Merchant's description

Quilceda Creek is one of the oldest family-owned and operated wineries in Washington State having been established by Alex Golitzin in 1978. The 2009 Columbia Valley Cabernet is once again a breath-taking release. Containing just a tiny splash of Merlot seasoning, it is multi-dimensional, vibrant and texturally sublime, offering wave upon wave of black fruits, bitter chocolate, dried lavender, graphite and liquorice, with typical elegance and focus.
