Quintessa 2011 1.5L

Quintessa 2011 1.5LAn 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.

The oak flavors are in balance with the fruit acidity and fruit flavor to yield an appealing wine
