2015 Quintessa

Quintessa, a " Cru" in the heart of Napa Valley Nestled in the heart of Rutherford, Quintessa is a 280-acre site that reflects a diversity of geology, biodiversity, exposures and microclimates. Captivated by this extraordinary setting, founders Agustin and Valeria Huneeus believed that it was destined to become one of the world’s great wine estates. At Quintessa, the harmony of the place is remarkable. People, vines, wildlife, plants, forests, and lakes all contribute to a natural ecosystem that the team is dedicated to preserving. The estate spread over 160 acres planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère, across 26 distinct vineyard blocks. Each block possesses its own unique character, and the team is dedicated to fully expressing the essence of each one. To achieve this, they have collaborated with experts in geology, terroir, biodiversity, and climate to intimately understand their terroir. Each parcel is farmed organically and biodynamically and vinified individually to preserve and enhance their nuances. The 2015 vintage Weather conditions The 2015 season began beautifully, with ample rains a welcome sight after three years of drought. Warm late-winter temperatures prompted an early budbreak and ultimately one of the earliest harvests on record for Quintessa. Overall, yields were low with outstanding quality as we began harvest in the early morning of September 2nd. Harvest continued at a fast pace, completing on September 30th. A whirlwind of activity that produced a classic Quintessa vintage of opulence, texture and length. Truly a collector’s vintage for its low yields and exceptional quality, the 2015 Quintessa will age gracefully for many years Tasting notes The 2015 vintage will remain pleasing for decades with notes of blackberry, resinous flowers, and spiced plum compote. Generous on the palate and layered with complexity, the 2015 Quintessa drinks well now, and with more time in the cellar, will re-emerge a robust, mature and elegant wine with delightful tertiary essence.
