Winemaker Paul Golitzin describes the wine's texture as luxurious, with layer upon layer of rich and concentrated crème de cassis, blackberry and black plum fruit coating the palate with a deep, memorable impact. Nuances of violet, anise, leather, dark chocolate, black truffle and minerals can also be found in this incredibly pure wine of great power and finesse. It will drink well on release and over the next 2-3 decades.\u003cbr\u003e- Paul Golitzin, Director of Winemaking\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003e2016 marks the 38th vintage of Quilceda Creek since its founding in 1978.

Beautiful notes of creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, graphite, dried herbs, and loamy earth all flow to a full-bodied, incredibly pure and perfectly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon that has no hard edges, a deep, concentrated mid-palate, good acidity, and a great, great finish. It reminds me of the 2002 with its uber classic, balanced yet broad and powerful style.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (April 2019), 98+ pts\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quilceda Creek Vintners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948999471151,"sku":"W0EE161022CSL","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/quilcedacreekcblbl_1f9746a9-06e4-4c93-9c4a-207066da4287.jpg?v=1771487108","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/quilceda-creek-cabernet-sauvignon-2016","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
