2008 Quilceda Creek "Galitzine Vineyard" Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon with wonderfully sweet aromas ofThe 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)
