Quilceda Creek Cabernet 2015

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

A benchmark of Washington State and one of America’s most collectible Cabernets, Quilceda Creek 2015 delivers extraordinary depth, concentration, and precision. Sourced from the estate’s top vineyard sites in the Columbia Valley—primarily Champoux, Galitzine, and Wallula—the wine reflects meticulous vineyard selection and uncompromising craftsmanship.

The 2015 vintage opens with an intense bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry layered with notes of graphite, espresso, dark chocolate, and sweet spice. Hints of violet and crushed stone add lift and complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with dense yet finely polished tannins and remarkable purity of fruit. Concentrated dark fruit flavors are balanced by vibrant acidity, carrying through to a long, seamless finish of impressive persistence.

Generous and opulent in youth yet impeccably structured, the 2015 Quilceda Creek Cabernet is built for long-term cellaring and continued evolution.
