Note di degustazione
The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon was fashioned from 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. It offers a boisterous rosemary and black fruit-scented nose. Big, broad, and chewy, this medium to full-bodied wine is packed with black fruits, spices, and hints of tar. It is masculine, concentrated, and in need of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. Tel. (360) 568-2389.

Bright medium ruby. Subdued, rather grapey aromas of sweet, sexy French oak, mocha and baking spices. Rich, fat and chewy; broad, concentrated and deep, even if it doesn't have the urgent primary fruit or sweetness of the '98. Finishes with sweet, even tannins that really spread out horizontally over the palate. Sep 2001, www.vinous.com

Founded in 1978, Quilceda Creek helped put Washington Cabernet on the world stage. Mentored by André Tchelistcheff, the family-owned winery became renowned for its powerful, age-worthy Cabernets and was the first U.S. winery outside California to earn 100 points from Wine Advocate.
