Quintessa 1997
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesMedium dark colour with a rich open Napa Valley nose of cedar drawer, pepper, vanilla and gobs of cassis and blackberry jam aromas. Ripe fruit defines this foursquare dusty Rutherford red with its medium weight tannins and elegant styling. Cedar drawer pepper, vanilla, luscious fruit here with gobs of cassis and blackberry jam aromas. Lovely integration gives it both length and weight. This is a fabulous opulent style red that has wide appeal now but it will improve over the next three to five years as it sheds some baby fat and it leans out a bit.
