2017 Quilceda Creek Palengat Vineyard Cabernet 

Quilceda Creek Winery is one of Washington's most prestigious wine producers. The winery's focus is on Cabernet Sauvignon, which has been very well-received: the 2002 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon was the first American wine outside of California to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker.

The winery was founded in 1978 by Alex Golitzin, who was inspired to make wine by his uncle André Tchelistcheff, one of the most significant winemakers in California at the time. Alex Golitzin's son, Paul, began working at the winery in 1992 and is now the winemaker.

Robert Parker 96+ RP - A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Palengat Red Wine explodes with power and finesse, combining aromas of graphite and pencil shavings with an undercurrent of juicy blackberry, dark cherry skin, robust plum and red and purple flowers before swaying with elegant baking spices from being rested in 100% French oak for 20 months. Full-bodied and tightly wound, the juicy, mouth-watering fruit expression has ample opportunity to absorb all the French oak across the mid-palate, which seems to lift the expression synergistically. While the label states it’s 14.8% alcohol, the complexity and depth of the wine never pull you toward a hot expression, which some might expect. Prevailing for more than a minute, the wine concludes with a continually evolving finish that repeatedly flips between robust fruit expression and subtle minerality with elegant oak and floral tones on the finish.
