2019 Quilceda Creek "CVR" Columbia Valley Bordeaux Blend

“The deep ruby-hued 2019 Columbia Valley CVR checks in as 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, and there are just under 6,000 cases produced. Beautiful Cabernet notes of cassis, redcurrants, tobacco, spring flowers, and cedarwood all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's a more elegant, silky, pure, classic Cabernet from this team.” (07/2022)

“The 2019 Red Wine CVR by Quilceda Creek combines nearly all Cabernet Sauvignon (94%) with smaller parts Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Impressive right out of the gate, it shows off pretty red florals alongside red bell pepper, blackberry compote and mocha tones on the nose. Full-bodied and beautifully textured, with good length, this beautiful wine is already showing brilliantly in its youth and will continue to develop over the next decade. (OB)” (10/2021)

“The 2019 CVR Columbia Valley Red Wine has a classic, red-fruited, juicy nose with focused, ripe, round and accessible crunchy red and black fruit essences. Medium to full-bodied, the red blend offers a fantastic, dusty expression with elegant French oak tones that linger through the mid-palate before gliding to a brilliant, long finish that will continue drinking great for another decade.
