The Winery
Quintessa
"Everything that we do is based on our beliefs that wine should be -- and our wine will be -- known for the property from which it originates, rather than its varietal composition."
- Agustin Huneeus, Proprietor
In 1989, Agustin and Valeria Huneeus found the property that would be Quintessa, a remarkable estate in the heart of the renowned Rutherford appellation of the Napa Valley. With 280 acres, it was the last great undeveloped property in the Napa Valley and it had all the characteristics of a great wine estate: rolling hills, diverse microclimates and many complex soil types. Agustin and Valeria had the vision to develop an estate perfectly suited for the creation of a singular wine that reflects this unique place. Quintessa expresses harmony and balance through the property, the vineyard and the wine.
Summary
The Quintessa Red Napa Valley 2015 is a distinguished Bordeaux blend, prominently featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, and crafted from biodynamically farmed vineyards in Rutherford. This magnum showcases the unique terroir of volcanic and alluvial soils, resulting in a wine with deep concentration and layered complexity. With aromas of blackberries, cherries, and hints of cedar and leather, it offers a full-bodied palate marked by soft, feathery tannins and a vibrant acidity. The wine's profile is enhanced by notes of spice and subtle earthiness, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This vintage reflects the challenges of the drought year, yielding a smaller yet intensely flavored crop. Blend composition: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Carmenère.
