2017 Quilceda Creek Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

"Lastly, and I think the standout in the lineup in 2017, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard is an incredible wine that's a candidate for the wine of the vintage in 2017. Coming all from Red Mountain, its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a mammoth-sized bouquet of white chocolate, candied violets, lead pencil shavings, and graphite, all grounded by loads of dark, meaty black and blue fruits. This beauty is full-bodied, has flawless balance, loads of ripe tannins, and a great, great finish. It's more backward and structured than the Columbia Valley release, so give bottles at least 4-5 years. It will be a 30-year wine." - 98/100 Jeb Dunnuck
