Quintessa 2022 Red Blend
About This Wine The Quintessa 2022 Red Blend is a refined and expressive Bordeaux-style blend from the renowned Rutherford appellation of Napa Valley. This wine opens with intense aromas of black cherry and cassis, which are beautifully layered with more complex notes of tobacco, bay laurel, cedar, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the dark fruit flavors are complemented by an intriguing minerality, evoking sensations of crushed rocks and graphite. The finish is particularly notable for its silky texture and very fine, integrated tannins. Produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, the wine is a testament to the winery's biodynamic farming practices and its commitment to showcasing the distinct character of its estate vineyard. The 2022 vintage has been met with significant critical acclaim, receiving high scores from publications like James Suckling and Decanter, which praise its elegance, charm, and age-worthiness.
