Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine from one of Washington State's most acclaimed wineries, sourced from premier vineyards in the Columbia Valley AVA including the legendary Champoux, Lake Wallula, Palengat, and Wallula sites in the Horse Heaven Hills sub-appellation. Crafted as 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, each vintage is aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels from renowned cooperages including Taransaud and Darnajou.

The wine showcases aromas and flavors of violets, lavender, blackberry, cassis, and plum fruit, complemented by nuances of cocoa nib, baking spices, graphite, and minerals. Its silky, full-bodied texture carries rich fruit layers of dusty blackberry essence and juicy plums that coat the palate in seamless harmony, finishing long and intense. It is approachable upon release but is built for aging, with a drinking window extending well into the 2030s and beyond.

Founded in 1978 by Alex Golitzin — mentored by the legendary André Tchelistcheff — Quilceda Creek has earned over thirty 100-point scores from seven different major critics including Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. Winemaker Paul Golitzin, leading production since 1992, has steadfastly focused the winery on a single varietal, making Quilceda Creek's Cabernet Sauvignon a benchmark not just for Washington State but internationally. The 2017 vintage earned a 98-point Cellar Selection designation from Wine Enthusiast.
