Enter Quintessa ~ a winery that NEVER disappoints. The wine is always impeccable, the views are insane, and the hospitality is professional, informative, and gracious. Quintessa only produces two wines per vintage: a Sauvignon Blanc based white aptly called Illumination; and a Cabernet Sauvignon based red blend, Quintessa. With this perspective, winemaker Rebekah Wineburg is able to fully immerse herself in making the best wine each year.⁣

At Quintessa, they have observed and listened to the Rutherford Estate terroir for over 25 years. They treat it like “Burgundy in Napa” referring to the micro-terroir of each vineyard block. The wine produced truly speaks to the biodynamic practices of the estate. And wow - I was thoroughly impressed with the 2017! With notes of violets, black and red fruits, baking spices, tobacco and cedar, the tannins were medium plus but seamlessly integrated. Bravo Rebekah and team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It wasn’t our first bottle of Quintessa and certainly won’t be our last!⁣
