The 2018 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard from Red Mountain is a deeply concentrated and full-bodied wine, showcasing rich black and blue fruits like blackcurrants and black cherries. It reveals complex layers of anise, soy, leather, Turkish coffee, and subtle floral notes such as violets, all wrapped in a mineral-driven, scorched earth character typical of Red Mountain. The tannins are polished yet firm, providing remarkable texture and a long, seamless finish. This wine carries a structure and minerality reminiscent of top Bordeaux estates like Château Latour, promising excellent aging potential over the next two decades. It is best enjoyed with hearty dishes such as grilled ribeye or braised short ribs to complement its intensity and depth.
