    CABERNET SAUVIGNON

    95 Quilceda Creek 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley). Quilceda Creek has been a benchmark in Washington since its first vintage in 1979. Aromas of pitch-black cherry, graphite and spice lead to ripe, intense, layered dark-fruit flavors supported by velvety but firm tannins that lead to a warm finish. As always, time in the cellar will serve this wine well. Best after 2026, with a long life beyond that. Cellar Selection. —S.S.

    94 DeLille 2015 Grand Ciel Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain). There’s no question this is a warm-vintage wine, with its aromas of black cherry, game, licorice, scorched earth, barrel spice and blackberry. The palate brings rich, intense, rollicking dark-fruit flavors that have enough firm, tightly wound tannic structure to stitch them all together. It has the stuffing to run the race and then run it again. Best after 2027. Cellar Selection. —S.S.

    abv: 14.1% Price: $160

    Luxurious aromas of barrel spice, char, roasted coffee bean, black cherry, earth, cocoa, graphite, coffee and herb lead to. —S.S.
