Layered and rich, yet ultra-pure and elegant, it gives up classic creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, licorice and liquid flower-like qualities to go with full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. Relatively civilized, yet with building tannin and richness, it should benefit from short-term cellaring and have two decades of longevity.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate (Issue #213, June 2014), 97 - 100 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eVarietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eVineyards: Champoux, Klipsun, Palengat, Tapteil and Wallula\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBarrels: 100% New French Oak\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eTime in Barrel: 22 months\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBottled: August 2013\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThe 2011 growing season featured a cool spring and summer followed by a warm fall. This allowed for vineyards to achieve full physiological maturity. Quantities offered for purchase this year are significantly reduced due to the freeze damage that occurred in late 2010 at Champoux Vineyard.

Seemingly endless waves of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and plum fruit coat the entire palate with nuances of violets, Asian soy, smoke, cedar, vanilla, minerals and black tea. The amazingly long finish lasts for over a minute on the palate. This classic wine should age effortlessly for 20+ years. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quilceda Creek Vintners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948798210095,"sku":"W0EE161011CSL","price":174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/quilcedacreekcabernet.jpg?v=1771483719","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/quilceda-creek-cabernet-sauvignon-columbia-valley-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
