2009 Quilceda Creek Red Wine

Tasting Note:

Quilceda Creek_s 2009 Red Wine _ which includes 15% of Merlot and near-negligible amounts of Malbec Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc _ nicely integrates preserved walnut toasted pecan and green herbal elements into a matrix of cocoa powder chocolate syrup and confitured dark berries. There is a hint of heat to the finish of this plush plump offering but neither that nor the wines torrefied elements detract from a torrent of sweet berry juiciness nor preclude a sense of energy and a dynamic interaction of myriad elements. I suspect based on intuition as well as reliable reports _ although I have scarcely any personal experience as yet with older Quilceda Creek wines _ that this will remain well worth following for at least a decade.
