2008 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard RP--98

Robert Parker: 98 Points
Wine Advocate #196 Aug 2011 Jay Miller 98 Drink: 2016 - 2033 $159-$175 (98) The 2008 Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon contains 1% Merlot. It proffers a brooding aromatic array of toasty oak, Asian spices, incense, a hint of sage, violets, and assorted black fruits. More structured than the preceding wines, �No doubting it�s Red Mountain� say the Golitzins, it has plenty of ripe tannin more than balanced by loads of succulent fruit, exceptional density, richness and power. Give it 5-6 years and drink it from 2016 to 2033.
