Quintessa 2019 (375ml)
It is QUINTESSA we’re talking about here, one of the premiere wineries in the country, if not the entire world.
They literally have everything you could ever want. They’re home to a sprawling 280-acre property that Parker’s Wine Advocate called “majestic” in the heart of Rutherford, right off of the Silverado Trail and perfectly situated next to the famous Lake Hennessey. They have the most insane (and expensive) winemaking team in the world, led by Rebekah Wineburg (Staglin/Rudd) but also including the most famous consultant on the planet, Michel Rolland, as well as Andy Erickson (Screaming Eagle/Leviathan).
And this year?
They have a 100-point ‘Cellar Selection’ for their flagship wine. It’s the American dream.
In an exceptional 2019 vintage in Napa, the team at Quintessa showcased exactly why they’re the standard that everyone else is chasing. Their flagship bottling is absolutely outrageous. Jeb Dunnuck wrote that he was “blown away” and called the wine “up with the creme de la creme of the vintage.” James Suckling gave it a ‘99’ and deemed it “so long with real definition.”

100 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a winemaker’s master class in blending and understanding of a long-standing site. Dried herb, cedar and pencil shavings accent lifted red fruit and brilliant acidity on the palate, with a supple yet still youthfully grippy texture that is framed by structured, graceful tannins. Enjoy from 2029–2039.
99 Points, James Suckling
So much earth and spice with walnut and wet earth. Like fog laying over the valley in the morning. Black fruit. Medium-to full-bodied with super-fine tannins that are long and persistent, with graceful progression and length on the palate. So long, with real definition. September 2022 release. From biodynamically grown grapes. Hard not to drink now, but will age wonderfully.
97 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
I was blown away by the 2019 Red Blend from Quintessa, which is up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Based on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère, this full-bodied beauty has a perfectly balanced, seamless, yet expansive and classic 2019 style as well as gorgeous aromatics of cassis, flowers, chalky minerality, and integrated oak. It’s hard to resist already, but I have no doubt this will evolve for 20 years if stored properly.
