Quintessa is a landmark Rutherford estate founded by Agustin and Valeria Huneeus, set on a 280‑acre property of diverse soils, exposures, and microclimates in the heart of Napa Valley. Farmed organically and Biodynamically, the estate cultivates 160 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère across 26 individually vinified blocks to capture the site’s nuance. Known for its elegant, age‑worthy Bordeaux‑style blend, Quintessa reflects a philosophy of expressing the natural harmony and grandeur of its singular landscape.
The 2022 Quintessa is a charming wine, opening with intense aromas of black cherry and cassis that are complemented by notes of tobacco, bay laurel, cedar, and dark chocolate. Plush and inviting on entry, this wine’s flavors align with its aromas. The palate reveals dark fruits and an undertone of crushed rocks, tar, and graphite. On the finish, this vintage displays the signature fine-grained tannin of their Quintessa terroir, backed by voluminous texture and fruit.
Blend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Carménère, 1% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot
