The 2016 Pinot Gris Zellberg is deep and intense but pure and stony on the nose. Rich, smooth and elegant, this is a very intense, perfectly ripe and textured Zellberg with fine but still young and grippy tannins and delicious acidity. Lush, long and fruity but still young. - The Wine Advocate

This is a powerful expression of this great vintage. Hugely rich, concentrated and with layers of black-plum fruits, the wine is dense and full of spice and balanced acidity. It is still a young wine, typical of the vintage at this stage. Drink this wine from 2021.

The 2015 Quilceda Creek "CVR" Columbia Valley Red Wine is a wonderful preview into the incredible 2015 vintage. A combination of all our vineyard sites, it is filled with satisfying red and blue fruits, smoke, spice and minerals. One of the best CVRs to date, it is the first vintage of CVR that will bear the new label showing an iridescent black version of the classic gold Quilceda Creek label. This blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot will be best enjoyed over the next 15 years.

Beautiful nose showing concentrated ripe fruits. This is a full-bodied red with velvety tannins, lovely acidity and a long, fruity finish. Well done for the vintage. Drink from 2017. - James Suckling, February 2015

Deep and concentrated in appearance. The complex bouquet reveals dark fruit aromas of
blackberry and cassis, precious woods and mint, enhanced with a subtle mocha note.
Initially velvety on the palate, the wine gains in body, with the very delicate and silky tannins adding structure. The wine is well-balanced and fresh throughout the tasting, and elegant until the lingering finish. Similar to Saint-Julien in style, Chateau Belgrave’s neighbouring vineyard.
