Decanter 99
The 2023 Quintessa shines with clarity, detail, and poise. A remarkable wine. Violets and lavender lift from the glass, carrying with them aromas of black currants, tobacco and cedar. Cashmere like tannins join brightening acidity delivering elegance, restraint, and durability for aging. Will benefit from decanting if opening now, but will develop in bottle beautifully.
QUINTESSA 375ML CALIFORNIA-CABERNET/CAB BLENDS showcases a rich flavor profile typical of California's premium wine regions. This blend features bold notes of dark fruit, with hints of cocoa and spice, characteristic of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine's smooth texture and balanced acidity enhance its appeal, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.
This wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, hearty stews, and rich pasta dishes. It also complements aged cheeses and dark chocolate, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Expert Reviews
A marvelously bright red from winemaker Rebekah Wineburg, remarkably fragrant in its mineral elegance of the dusty red pulverized earth that is so characteristic of the Rutherford AVA, also appearing on the palate as fine, gravelly, cocoa-powder infused tannins. Pure-fruited, with ripe cassis and blackberry notes, salted dark chocolate, and a full-bodied personality, radiant with exotic floral notes of hibiscus and red rose, with a touch of dried sage and rosemary that adds further complexity. Incredibly elegant and built for long-term cellaring. The full blend includes: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Carménère, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. After 20 days of maceration, the wine was aged for 22 months in 60% new French oak barrels and 3% in a terracotta amphora.
