($30; 88% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cab franc and 3% merlot) Good full ruby. Black raspberry, redcurrant, pepper and tar on the nose. Supple in texture, with a restrained sweetness to the flavors of currant, minerals, graphite and tobacco. Finishes with sweet, suave, nicely integrated tannins.

The finest Red Wine the Golitzens have fashioned to date, the 2003 (1,300 cases) is an assemblage of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Merlot. It bursts from the glass with black currants, violets, blackberries, and notes of dark cherries. Dense, medium-bodied, silky-textured, and intense, this black fruit-packed wine bears Quilceda Creek's trademark marriage of power with elegance and sweet tannin.

Broad, open-textured and impeccably balanced, with a tingle of tannins wrapping around a plump core of currant, plum and cedary spice flavors that persist on the finish, with hints of pepper. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. 1,325 cases made.
