Quilceda Creek Makes Washington Wine History
With Remarkable Back-to-Back Vintages of "Perfect" Wine
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Awards 2002 & 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon 100 Points
Snohomish, Wash., April 24, 2006 – The newest issue of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, one of the most influential wine publications in the world, has awarded Washington State’s first 100-point wine ratings to two Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignons. Both the 2002 and 2003 vintages of the winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon received 100 points in the April 24th issue of Parker’s Wine Advocate. It is the first time any Washington wine has earned 100-points--an achievement only a handful of wineries in the world can claim.

華盛頓Snohomish， 四月24日， 2006年–由Robert Parker所出刊的Wine Advocate，是當今全世界最具權威之一的酒類雜誌，其最新一期，評予兩款來自華盛頓州的Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon滿分的殊榮。該釀酒廠2002與2003年份的Cabernet Sauvignon，雙雙榮獲Wine Advocate四月24號期的100分完美肯定。這是華盛頓酒首度贏得滿分100分的無上榮耀－全世界僅有少數釀酒廠可達如此輝煌成就。

Receiving two 100-point ratings for consecutive vintages puts Quilceda Creek in even more rarefied territory. The Wine Advocate has given 100 points to consecutive vintages of the same wine only five other times since it began publishing in 1978. "There isn’t a Cabernet producer with this winery’s track record for consistency," writes the Wine Advocate in its latest issue. "Now Quilceda Creek has produced two wines that are second to none."

Quilceda Creek連續兩年出品年份皆贏獲滿分的傲人成績，開創了群雄望其項背的另一新局面。Wine Advocate自1978創刊以來，僅曾評予另外五款酒，接連前後年份100分的激賞肯定。最新一期Wine Advocate寫著，” Quilceda Creek此兩款獨一無二的稀世珍釀，打破了之前Cabernet酒款，從未贏得前後生產年份100分的評比記錄”。

Quilceda Creek is a small, family-owned and operated winery in Snohomish, Wash., celebrating its 25th vintage with the release of its 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon this spring. Winemaker Paul Golitzin, 35, followed his father’s footsteps into winemaking in 1992. "Paul has been relentless in his quest to produce one of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons in the world," says his father Alex. "Our wine is what it is today primarily because of Paul’s outstanding palate and creativity."

Quilceda Creek位於華盛頓Snohomish，屬於小型家族釀酒廠，今年春天，為慶祝收成第25週年，發表上市了其2003 Cabernet Sauvignon酒款。今年35歲的釀酒師Paul Golitzin，在1992年，追隨了父親的腳步，進入釀酒業。＂Paul奮力不懈地，矢志追求釀造出世上最頂級的Cabernet Sauvignon。我們葡萄酒的卓越表現，最主要還是來自於他優異的口感敏銳度與十足創造力。＂Paul的父親Alex如此說道。

本款酒今年在美國葡萄酒權威雜誌Wine Spectator評選的2006年度百大酒款當中名列第二，再度以其卓越的品質贏取至高榮譽。
