2015 was the first time Quilceda used grapes from their Lake Wallula Vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills in addition to their Champoux and Palengat vineyards. With 2015 being a notoriously warm vintage in Washington, it shows in the heavy ripeness of this wine. It’s a full-bodied wine with complex, intricate, layered aromas of currant, graphite, chocolate, tobacco, and spices. It has a purity to it, but also a strength that makes you want to keep it for a decade or two.
