Опис
A flagship estate wine from the heart of Rutherford, Quintessa 2021 is a highly polished Bordeaux-style blend that expresses both power and finesse. Sourced from the estate’s diverse volcanic and alluvial soils, it reflects meticulous biodynamic farming and parcel-by-parcel vinification before final blending.
In the glass, it is deep ruby-purple and intensely concentrated. The nose is refined and complex, opening with cassis, black cherry, and ripe blackberry, lifted by floral notes of violet and lilac, along with hints of graphite, cedar, bay laurel, and subtle earthy tones. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a precise, structured core. Fine-grained tannins frame layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and savory herbs, while a distinctive mineral backbone adds tension and elegance. The texture is generous yet controlled, leading into a long, chalky, and energetic finish. The 2021 vintage is defined by freshness, balance, and aromatic lift, showing both immediate sophistication and strong long-term aging potential—built to evolve gracefully for decades.
