Quilceda Creek Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

$175

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine Vineyard, located in the Red Mountain AVA, is 100% varietal. Dark ruby/purple in color, it delivers an enticing nose of pain grille, pencil lead, earth notes, spice box, violets, and assorted black fruits. On the palate it is dense, ripe, full-bodied, and structured. Still a bit tightly wound, it will reveal its full potential with another 5-7 years of cellaring. It will provide much pleasure from 2015 to 2026 at the least. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Palengal Vyd 2006. Very complex more Bordeaux like than Californian. Deep flavors of black fruits, and soft lushness. A joy to drink. Tannin levels have lessened and the fruit jumps out of the glass. Great finish . CB 95

I gave this a lot of air and it’s still not where I was hoping it would be. Sure it’s not a CA Cab but still. It’s light on the palate, not a great finish and a more tannic, drying overall than I prefer.
