QUILCEDA CREEK, ‘COLUMBIA VALLEY’ RED WINE 2010

Composition

81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec

Tasting Notes
The Quilceda Creek 2010 Columbia Valley Red Wine is a blend of declassified lots that didn’t make it into our flagship wines. Having this strict selection allows our best wines to compete at the highest level on a global scale. The resulting wine is filled with black cherry fruit, star anise, roasted herbs, cedar, vanilla and minerals.
