NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Quilceda Creek's Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, powerful wine full of dark fruit and complex spice.On the nose, there are intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and smoky cedar, with subtle notes of sage and earth. On the palate, the wine has velvety tannins, plenty of ripe berry and plum flavors, and a long, lingering finish. This is a truly remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon that celebrates Washington's finest terroir.
