Very well made wine. Nice subtle oak notes that blended well with the citrus of the wine. Definitely a wine you wanted another sip of after jsut having one.

Very complex for a sauv blanc, had typical bright acidity but also more complex taste and texture like chardonnay. 75% Argentinian Sauv Blanc, 25% semillon. DEFINITELY BUY

Napa trip day 6: Drank a glass over 45 minutes at the winery's tasting facility. Very floral, some grapefruit and grass. It is a bit sweet and could be fresher.

I very rarely love Napa SB but this really stands out and Quintessa make this expression sing… had this from a buddy during a blind tasting and drank so well !
SIGHT: water straw color super young with green reflection
NOSE: concentrated and expressive big Pink grapefruit, gooseberry, orange ripe Papaya, honeydew melon so tropical and bright but with such an interesting slight mineral funk note in the back it’s subtle to me but friend said it was strong.
PALATE: Ripe Papaya melon, Yellow citrus, pink grapefruits candies, and juicy nectarines with that wonderful minerality in the finish. The wine is light and has such a bright refreshing acidity to cleans the palate.
OVERALL: this is a top notch SB and so interesting to source from Sonoma and Napa it’s like they got the terroir of Alexander valley with the melon and tropical purity of Napa Rutherford. Great high-end SB will please the crowd and normally I don’t like Quintessa at least their red but the white I’m all about this is it !

Light refreshing on a hot summer day by the pool.

Stone fruit, peach with pineapple notes. Slightly bitter on the finish. Clean and crisp
