Winemaker Notes

Cabernet from this iconic 45-year-old vineyard consistently delivers power, structure and rich concentrated black fruit. The wine offers black cherry flavors and chocolate notes with typical Cold Creek density and user friendly power. This is 100% Cabernet because Cold Creek Cab shines on its own.

Professional Ratings

    This has a composed and compact feel with good depth and density. Aromas and flavors of very deep plums and blackberries with assertive and savory oak spices and meaty nuances. Succulent tannins, too. Powerful and fresh. Drink or hold.

    I loved the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Creek Vineyard (100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 22 months in barrel). It has a still youthful purple color as well as plush, forward notes of smoky black fruits, licorice, tobacco, and barbecued meats. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully textured, it will keep for another decade, although there's no need to hold off. It's a smoking value.

    The vines which produced this 2014 Cold Creek Cabernet were actually planted by the great Andre Tchelistcheff in 1973. They’re on loam, sand and gravel soils and take advantage of extreme shifts of diurnal temperatures to lock in acidity. It’s a windy site that gives smaller, thick-skinned berries, borne out by the tannic, dense character of this wine. It's creamy, plush and full, and uppermost are blue and black berry fruits with a lick of pipe tobacco and woodsmoke. Though present, the acidity is perhaps drowned out a tad by the big structure, yet this has plenty of personality with a good future.

    Barrel-forward aromas of vanilla and toast are in front of herb and cherry. The palate brings a sense of polish and appeal, with the tannins bringing some squeeze on the finish.

    I loved the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Creek Vineyard, and it’s 100% varietal from their estate vineyard in the Columbia Valley. Chocolate, smoked earth, violets, graphite and black and blue fruits all emerge from this beauty and it has plenty of mid-palate depth, good concentration and a great finish.

Image for Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon content section

Washington produces so many exciting wines, and that definitely includes Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. With over 10,000 acres under vine, Cabernet Sauvignon is now the most widely-grown varietal in the state. Terrific examples hail from sub-appellations like Red Mountain, Wahluke Slope, Horse Heaven Hills and Walla Walla Valley. One of the fascinations of these Columbia Valley Cabs is that they so often seem to have one foot in the New World and one in the Old. Representing the former are characteristics like the ripe, forward fruit that results from long sunny days during the growing season (up to two hours longer than in much of California). Old World similarities include an undeniable brightness from acidity, as well as notes of herbs, graphite and a dusty, sometimes gravelly minerality.

Whether you’re looking for a budget bottle for everyday enjoyment, or a stellar, world-class wine with tremendous aging potential, Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wines can deliver the goods! Among the many fine options are bottles from Columbia Crest, Chateau Ste. Michelle, L’ecole #41, Quilceda Creek and Leonetti.
