2017 Rutherford Quintessa Napa Valley Red Wine

The 2017 Quintessa is a wine of perfect harmony, with deep flavors and elegant layers that are apparent even from a young age. Intense aromas of cassis, black cherry, and raspberry intermingle with savory notes of sage and thyme; it continues to unfold as notes of dark chocolate, graphite and fresh tobacco mingle with the fresh fruit.Precise and dense, the wine shows supple tannin that play with flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, and crushed rocks. The wine has a perfect balance of fresh acidity followed by bright fruit and minerality at the finish that portends unparalleled aging potential.
