Quilceda Creek
CVR Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Cassis nose, dusty and a little burnt. Very ripe fruit on the palate, sweet, but a bit muddy. Decent wine, not the best qpr.

Jun 4th, 2021The 2016 'CVR' is an absolutely stunning release from Quilceda Creek. It takes on instant appeal, as the nose is very pretty and perfumed with red rose petals that combine with the marvelous dark and blue fruits. The texture is outstanding with a wonderfully rich and polished mouthfeel. Delicious flavors of ripe red, dark and blue fruit combine with a touch of chocolate to envelope the palate heading into the long finish. While this is already remarkable in its youth, it should also cellar well over the next ten to fifteen years. Drink 2020-2032- 93

Dec 12th, 2020So fresh and vibrant. Red and blue fruit extracts encapsulated in spicy oak. It kept evolving and got richer as time progressed. It had this so difficult to describe addictive finish that just keeps you going for more until it is suddenly all gone, way too soon.
