Quintessa 2012 1.5L Wood Box wowimpex25 bold fruit character and fine-grainedAn absolute phenomenal effort from a vintage with only a handful of stars. I tasted this wine blind against some of the world's top wines and this wine performed remarkably. TASTING NOTES: The 2011 Quintessa Red wine shows beautiful, elegant, and persistent aromas and flavors similar to the Right Bank of Bordeaux and the best from the top microclimates in Sonoma County. The wine exhibits red fruit and stony earth aromas and flavors.
