When Alex Golitzin founded Quilceda Creek, he took his uncle André Tchelistcheff’s advice to heart: make one wine and make it well. And for Alex, there was no doubt that wine would be Cabernet Sauvignon. In the several decades since, Quilceda Creek has never wavered from this focus, relentlessly pursuing perfection with every vintage.

Our vineyards in Washington State set Quilceda Creek apart. As the 12th bonded winery in the state post Prohibition, our longevity here has given us years to refine our vineyard sourcing and perfect our farming practices. As the industry and vine acreage in Washington State have grown, we have used our depth of knowledge and experience to our advantage, singling out properties with the combination of geography, climate and soils capable of producing layered and complex Cabernet Sauvignons.
