Description

Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Magnum (5)


"More pure and focused than the 2009, with a slightly closer to the vest feel, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon shows the cooler nature of the vintage and has incredible detail, purity and freshness to its aromas and flavors. A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot that spent 22 months in 100% new French oak, it offers classic black currant, spice box, coffee bean, violets and exotic spices to go with an ethereal, layered and seamless palate that delivers massive amounts of fruit and texture without any apparent weight. I thoroughly enjoyed it now, yet it will age for decades." (97+ pts. Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, June 2013)

“The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon shows delicious and juicy on the nose with a clearly delineated frame of red and black fruit expressions that are open-knit and accessible. Full-bodied, flavors of dusty plum, juicy dark cherry and blackberry essence sway on the palate with a lively and juicy structure, offering fine-grained tannins before elegant oak tones and exotic baking spices shine through the mid-palate. The wine offers an elegant yet underlying mineral tension that adds complexity to the wine before concluding with a long, evolving finish. I feel the need to elevate the previous score, as it has certainly earned the ‘plus sign’ originally given to it back in 2013.” (98 pts. Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, April 2021)
