Appearance: Deep
crimson
Aroma:
Herbs, smoke, cocoa, tobacco and black fruits
Palate: Full on the
palate. Deep exotic spices. Sweet ripe berries, chocolate, graphite, and
oakiness. Fine and smooth tannins.
Needless to say much. This second wine from Quilceda
Creek is surely one of the top of New World wine from Washington. It is sexy and
yet opulent. Ones will indeed enjoy a big punch of this bordeaux blend. It is
ready now and should be fabulous at least 5 years ahead. Quilceda Creek Red Wine
2009 will surely be a perfect compliment with red meat and rich dishes. Raise
the glass!!!!
