The 2020 ‘Palengat’ Cabernet is another magnificent wine from Quilceda Creek in this vintage. This is a refined expression, made from clone 685, which opens to seductive characteristics of blackberries and blueberries which are woven together with tobacco, violets, graphite, exotic spices and fresh savory herbs all coming together throughout the wine. On the palate this is medium/full bodied and impeccably structured with gorgeous polished tannins that result in a beautiful finessed mouthfeel. This is remarkably pure, as it continues to display striking complexity and wonderful freshness as it glides effortlessly through the long seamless finish. This is nothing short of a simply stunning wine that already impresses in its youth and shows incredible promise for a bright future ahead.
