Quintessa Napa Valley Red Blend
2022

This vintage stands out as one of the most approachable Quintessa wines at release, showcasing the estate’s signature plush, velvety tannins. Juicy red fruit and delicate purple florals are layered with cedar spice and a sleek graphite edge, creating a beautifully framed aromatic and palate expression. Hints of spearmint and mocha add intrigue through the generous, full-bodied finish.

The fruit feels especially vibrant and ripe, amplified by the effortless glide of the tannins across the palate. For collectors, this is a rare gift—Quintessa is often more structured and restrained in balanced, near-perfect vintages such as 2021, 2016, and 2013. Since its barrel stage, the wine has softened considerably, suggesting it may not age as long as once expected. Still, for the vintage, it offers outstanding drinking pleasure now and will continue to shine over the next 5 to 10 years.

Harvested between September 9 and October 1, this blend comprises 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Carménère, 1% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, aged for 22 months in 60% new French oak with 1% resting in terracotta amphora.

Giving a gift of Quintessa makes quite a statement. Known for its elegance, complexity, and iconic Napa pedigree, Quintessa makes an unforgettable personalized gift. A custom label or hand-etched design transforms this world-class Cabernet blend into a one-of-a-kind keepsake, perfect for celebrating milestones, honoring clients, or creating a lasting memory that’s as timeless as the wine inside.
