2004 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Washington
Decanted 4 hr’s. Great nose of blueberry, violets and pie crust along with red currants and white chocolate notes. On the palate, this has great presence and weight – a nice combination of smoothness, power and supple, sweet tannins. Flavors of blueberry, red currants, cassis, and vanilla bean dominate on the palate. The finish is just tremendous in its length, breadth and persistent fruit. This opened up more throughout the evening and should continue to improve with more cellar time. S96  7/27/2007

Had a bottle of this blind at a tasting that paired $100+ bottles with less than $20 bottles.  The '04 Quilceda Creek was one of my least favorite wines of the evening.
