From Quintessa Winery
This wine opens with vibrant aromas of cassis, black cherry, and red currant, layered with notes of clove, dried herbs, and a subtle undertone of sagebrush. On the palate, it is dense yet supple, with polished tannins and a plush mouthfeel that reflect the signature 'Rutherford dust.' The mid-palate reveals layers of red and black fruit, accented by mineral notes and a touch of savory spice. The finish is long, structured, and elegant, with lingering flavors of dark fruit and a refined, earthy complexity that speaks to its origin. The wine’s balance and depth promise both immediate pleasure and long-term aging potential.[2][1]
