Quintessence is in my top two or three favorite vineyards, seemingly producing stellar wines from multiple vintners. However, this time something went a bit sideways. It’s fine, but has an odd plum flavor overriding all else. Prospice’s track record, albeit kinda short, is excellent, so it’s hard to point the finger there. Nonetheless, it’s a step short of well balanced and yummy.

First time on this vintage. It may need more time. Judging it next to a ‘17 Chester-Kidder probably isn’t fair, as the C-K is stellar.
