Katie Kelly Bell of Forbes Asks, ‘Is Quilceda Creek The Best, Most Hedonistic Cabernet Sauvignon In America?’

"Dense purple hue with gorgeous cassis and blue fruits as well as dried spice, flowers, camphor, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors. This deep, rich, concentrated, flawlessly balanced beauty has ultra-fine tannins, a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, and a great, great finish."

"On the nose, it takes on beautiful red florals, dark currants, huckleberry cordial and Turkish coffee with shades of creosote and sandalwood. The palate is opulent, polished and beautifully textured, delivering seamless length and amazing persistence. Cassis, espresso bean, sagebrush and Black Forest cake flavors all come together wonderfully on the palate."

“This instantly opens to seductive aromas of ripe blackcurrants and dark plums that are wound by lead pencil shavings, violets, gravel, dried tobacco and mocha nuances. The palate is absolutely stunning, full-bodied and seamless, with an incredible deep concentrated inner-core that pumps out layers of perfectly ripe dark and blue fruit flavors along with hints of mocha and graphite which continue to resonate all the way through the long expressive finish where it continues to display a wonderful sense of purity and freshness.”

"Precision and focus with Red Mountain's firm, rocky minerality before showcasing layers of velvety, dark red fruit that wafts from the glass. Full-bodied and firmly structured, elements of sweet red berries and seductive vanilla flavors offer up layers of complexity with gripping tannins. Concludes with elegance and persistence on the delightful, velvety finish, leaving behind a lovely, red-fruited finesse that continues to shine."
