2014 Quilceda Creek CVR Columbia Valley - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley (4/16/2022)
Lovely Bordeaux blend that’s evolved beautifully in bottle with a few years of cellar time. A complex blend of cherry, black currant, garrigue, and some light toast and oak notes with medium tannins. Nicely integrated, polished mouthfeel, and a long finish.
This wine is gorgeous and drinking really well now, but I did notice a really tiny bit of heat that will probably dissipate with more cellar time–so I’d recommend drinking or holding depending on how many bottles one has left. If you’re sitting on a case, enjoy some now, and if you’re down to just one bottle like me, hold off to see how it evolves with some additional time.
For the original purchase price of $45, the 2014 CVR offers really outstanding QPR. (94 pts.)
