2019 Quilceda Creek “Galitzine” Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 8
Galitzine Vineyard
Red Mountain
Refined Structure
Our 17-acre Galitzine Vineyard in the small Red Mountain AVA was planted in 2001-2002 exclusively to Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 8. The grapes from this vineyard produce a powerful, structured wine with intense black fruit and earthy minerality, eminently worthy of its single vineyard designation. The 2019 Quilceda Creek “Galitzine” Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 8 Galitzine Vineyard is comprised of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon from Galitzine vineyard and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon from our Mach One vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. Deep, dark and rich black fruits coat the entire palate with nuances of anise, soy, leather, and minerals. The body and texture of this wine are remarkable, with a finish that seems almost endless. Drink 2023-2044.
“When you drive up to the Galitzine Vineyard, you can’t help but notice the care with which it is farmed. Dan’s (Nickolaus, Vineyard Manager) passion is written all over it.”
— Paul Golitzin
