From the winery:

A Landmark Accomplishment

While crafting the 2015 Quintessa, Rebekah Wineburg,the estate’s winemaker, instantly perceived the opulence, texture and length of an exceptional vintage, one that would delight immediately and through the years and decades to come. When she recently opened a bottle and poured herself a glass of the wine, it only confirmed what she presumed—that this latest release is destined to become coveted by collectors.

“It has this beautiful core fruit,” she says. “This vintage has all the Quintessa hallmarks: fresh fruit that is both red and black, and layers underneath of more savory character, then dark chocolate. It has power, but it’s also very elegant. It’s going to age wonderfully for 20 years or more.”

Exquisite as this wine is—and promises to become—Wineburg prizes the 2015 vintage for another reason as well. This is the first Quintessa release with which she was involved from beginning to end—“from soil to bottle,” as she puts it. “Every vintage is distinct, but this one is more so,” says Wineburg, who joined the estate in the spring of 2015. “The 2015 Quintessa has a gorgeous richness, with superb texture and a long finish. It is indeed special.”
