Here’s what you need to know: This is the first vintage from new winemaker Alex Stewart. Never heard of him? He was the head winemaker at Quilceda Creek until the pandemic, when he left to work for his longtime friend, Matthews owner Bryan Otis. With him, Alex brought his two assistant winemakers. Between them, they had a whooping 37 years of combined experience at Quilceda Creek!
During their tenure, Quilceda Creek garnered two 100 pt ratings from Wine Advocate and more 97, 98 and 99 pt scores than I can count across all the critical magazines.
To summarize, winemaker Alex Stewart is the biggest rockstar winemaker you’ve never heard of.
But I wager you will hear more soon… in my opinion, this is THE Cabernet Sauvignon producer to watch in all of the US!
“The aromas are thoroughly captivating, with notes of scorched earth, cocoa, black currant, graphite and bittersweet chocolate. Plush, polished, seamless fruit flavors follow. There's a sophistication and intensity to it all that is mesmerizing.” Wine Enthusiast
"A prominent perfume of mocha and dark cherry cordial, with underlying notes of raked earth, roasted herbs, and fractured rock that balance the fruit. On the palate, a kiss of acid and supple tannin lend structure to the black plum and a faint beef dripping. Well-integrated toasted oak and red / blue fruits compliment the lengthy finish." - Bryan Otis, Proprietor
