Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Rutherford Bordeaux-style blend built from five grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenere. The 2022 vintage shows how neatly those pieces fit together. Expect blackberry, raspberry, cassis and dark plum on the nose, framed by vanilla bean, cedarwood and a hint of mocha. The palate is rich and velvety, with black cherry, blueberry compote and baking spice carried by fine-grained tannins into a long finish. Quintessa tends its vineyard in small plots to preserve the character of each microclimate and soil, and that care shows up as balance rather than sheer weight in the glass. It suits the collector following Napa Valley's Bordeaux blends as well as anyone looking for a serious bottle to open on a milestone evening. Give it at least an hour in a decanter and it rewards the patience. We carry it because it pairs a clear sense of Rutherford with real finesse, and it earns its place on a special-occasion table.
Pairs well with
- Grilled ribeye steak — The wine's fine-grained tannins and dark fruit stand up to the char and richness of a well-marbled ribeye.
- Wild mushroom risotto — The cedar and mocha notes echo the earthy depth of mushrooms, while the velvety texture matches the creamy rice.
- Milestone anniversary dinner — Its layered black cherry, baking spice and long finish make it a bottle worth lingering over on a night to remember.
