with exclamation points all over my description- it reminded me very much of the 1990
with wonderfully sweet aromas of creme brulee
it sends gentle waves of black currant and cassis to the palate
this is so drinkable and ageworthy as well for those enlightened few who prefer to stash some Zinfandel away in their cellars
The wine reveals deep layers with black cherry
2008 Quilceda Creek "Galitzine Vineyard" Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon with exclamation points all overThe 2008 Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon contains 1% Merlot. It offers a brooding aromatic array of toasty oak, Asian spices, incense, a hint of sage, violets, and assorted black fruits. More structured than the preceding wines, No doubting its Red Mountain say the Golitzins, it has plenty of ripe tannin more than balanced by loads of succulent fruit, exceptional density, richness and power. Give it 5 6 years and drink it from 2016 to 2033. (JM)
