Description
The 2020 Quintessa enters on a core of cassis, black cherry, and currants enveloped by clove spice and savory dried herbs. Layers of structured tannin and the distinct mineral imprint of the Quintessa terroir give way to a structured and polished finish. Balanced and with well-integrated movement, this elegant and complex wine has plenty of life ahead of it – drinking well now and with cellar potential for at least 20 years.

Reveals a tug of loam that runs from start to finish, underscoring the core cassis and plum fruit flavors, while cedar and roasted vanilla accents score the finish. Shows muscle, but also the vintage’s touch of rusticity on the back end. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 6,000 cases made.
