Note di degustazione
There are 975 cases of the 2001 Red Wine, a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Franc. This “second wine” sports an elegant nose of violets, roses, and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, it is broad, structured, suave, and velvety-textured. Pure and refined, it offers flavors reminiscent of blueberries, blackberries, and cassis. A hint of alcoholic warmth was detected in the finish. Drink it over the next 8-9 years. They’ve done it again! Each year, as I get set to write about Quilceda Creek’s newest releases, I find myself at a loss for words since Robert Parker and I seem to have exhausted all the superlatives at our disposal over the years. Therefore, I must repeat myself: There is no producer in the world that fashions Cabernet Sauvignons as consistently extraordinary as Quilceda Creek. Tel. (360) 568-2389 www.quilcedacreek.com

(62% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot and 11% cabernet franc) Bright red-ruby. Aromas of smoky, roasted red and black fruits. Sweet, broad and lush; really dusts the palate with black fruit, graphite and mineral flavors. Gives an impression of high pH, like the 2000, but this shows stronger raw material and sweeter, finer tannins.
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
