Delivery in spring 2025!
Fabulous intensity and power without ever straying over the line, clear liquorice and cocoa bean, restrained and vivid blackberry, cassis and red cherry fruits overlaid with spiced cardamom and cumin. Grilled campfire smoke as it opens, this is a delicious vintage of Quintessa. Rebekah Wineburg winemaker.
96/100 Jane Anson
(Napa Valley; 91% Cabernet Sauvignon; 4% Cabernet Franc; 3% Carménère; 1% Merlot; 1% Petit Verdot; 14.5% alcohol). Gracious. Aromatically I find this very floral and lifted, if a little closed at first (not at all a bad thing). Peony. Lily of the valley. Wild thyme. A hint of graphite too. Black berry and stone fruit. Serious. And seriously dense and compact too. Blockier and more foursquare on the palate than one imagines from the aerial, lifted aromatics. Massively layered and dense. Needs time – and deserves it.
