Quintessa, Napa Valley (California) 2018

Feb 22, 2022

By Rich Cook

 A soon as you pull the cork on this bottle you will be more than aware that you’re in for a major experience.  Aromas of blackberry, red currants and complementary spice leap from the bottleneck, and only intensify in the glass.  It’s another top-flight example of what 2018 has to offer in California, and I imagine that this might already be all gone.  Elegant finish push keeps everything intact, even at this young age.  Get it if you can.
