Quilceda Creek Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (750ML)

98 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2023 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an understated beauty, mixing crushed stone and mint with dried roses and dusty black currants. It washes across the palate with an array of liquid violet florals and decadently ripe red and black fruits as a subtle spicy tinge adds cheek-pinching tension toward the close. It finishes with dramatic length and is pleasantly firm, with sweet tannins that tug at the palate without slowing the 2023's energetic momentum. This is an unbelievably pretty rendition of Quilceda Creek's Cabernet Sauvignon." 10/25

98 Points, Virginie Boone, JebDunnuck.com: "All varietal, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is sourced predominantly from Champoux (90%), the remainder from Mach One. Sweet, silky fruit coats a full-bodied, concentrated palate of bright, lifted freshness and supple tannins, exceptionally well-balanced and perfectly ripe. It’s opulent within a context of elegant refinement, creamy in red fruit and citrus, polished, structured, and simply gorgeous. As with all of the wines, it was aged 20 months in all French oak. Hold and drink 2033-2043." 04/26

98 Points, Courtney Humiston, JamesSuckling.com: "A rich yet elevated and very sophisticated wine with wonderful purity of fruit and a silky mouthfeel. Medium- to full-bodied with aromas and flavors of plums, black cherries, spices and stony minerality. Very seamless. Drink or hold." 04/26
