      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: Beginning with the dusty mineral essence of Red Mountain, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard offers plenty of dark, red-berried expressions with elements of dusty plum and blackberry jus before swaying with gorgeous oak notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and crème brûlée. There are full-bodied, firm tannins across the palate, and the wine is food-friendly now but will be spectacular with an additional year of bottle aging. Concluding with a long-lingering finish, this is yet another stunning bottling of Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Bravo!
      • James Suckling: Tighter and more backward, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard comes from a great site on Red Mountain and is, I believe, all Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in plenty of new oak. This dense purple/plum-hued beauty offers a decadent, powerful style carrying lots of red and black currants, crushed stone, lead pencil, graphite, and dried herb aromatics. With full-bodied richness, it's wonderfully balanced and has the classic savory, mineral-character of Red Mountain, beautiful structure, and a great finish. There's an almost Château Latour-like sense of structure and minerality, and it's going to benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for 20-30 years.

      Producer Information

      Based in Snohomish, northern Seattle, Quilceda Creek Winery is one of Washington's most prestigious boutique wine producers. The winery's focus is on Cabernet Sauvignon, which has been very well received: the 2002 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon was the first American wine outside of California to be awarded 100 points by US wine critic Robert Parker. The winery was founded in 1978 by Alex Golitzin, who was inspired to make wine by his uncle, the now legendary André Tchelistcheff – one of the most significant winemakers in California at the time. Alex Golitzin's son, Paul, began working at the winery in 1992 and is now the winemaker. Quilceda only produces a small number of wines, and the flagship is the Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit for this is sourced from some of the best Washington vineyards in Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills, including the Galitzine Vineyard, the Wallula Vineyard and the Palengat Vineyard. In addition to the flagship wine, Quilceda produces a single-vineyard Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, a Palengat Proprietary Red, and a Columbia Valley Red Wine which is made from declassified fruit. While Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the vineyards, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot are used to complete Quilceda's red blends, with the Palengat Proprietary Red using the smallest amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. From very early in its history, Quilceda Creek Winery has cemented a reputation for producing some of the finest wines in Washington. The first vintage of the flagship Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon won the Enological Society of the Northwest's Grand Prize in 1983. After the perfect score for the 2002 vintage, Robert Parker went on to award the 2003, 2005 and 2007 vintages each a 100-point score in the Wine Advocate. Former US president Barack Obama served the 2005 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon at a White House dinner with Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2011.
