The 2016 Palengat is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon blended with 11% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, and it's one of the smaller production cuvees. It's a rich, full-bodied effort and has wonderful purity in its creme de cassis, graphite, and ample pencil lead like nuances, with an almost Pauillac vibe. With fine, sweet tannins, a great mid-palate, and considerable elegance and finesse matched up to classic Quilceda power and richness, it's a beautiful wine to drink over the coming 15-20 years.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The legend of Washington state strikes again! Not much to go around of this Bordeaux blend from horse Heaven Hills. Almost all Cab, blended to perfection with 11% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage produced wines of pure class, with classic proportions and all clean lines but still ripe and pure.
