It's no secret that 2019 was a fantastic year for Cali Cabs and blends.
If you are like us and enjoy big-time Cabs but don't always want to open a full, 750ml bottle, then this half bottle home run is right up your alley.
Half bottles offer you the benefit of starting with a white and ending with a glass or two of red. Or, simply a glass or two or red with no waste.
Either way, you cannot go wrong with the 2019 Quintessa Proprietary Red, one of Napa Valley's big time Cabernet blends.
"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." Wine Enthusiast
"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... From biodynamically grown grapes. Hard not to drink now, but will age wonderfully." James Suckling
There is so much going on in this bottle!
Enjoy.
