Double decanted 375 mL bottle about an hour prior to serving, and it opened within 30 min. Deep ruby color. 👃🏻 blackberry, plum, pencil shavings, hint of vanilla 👅 dense plum, black cherry, blackberry, leather, mineral with 35 sec finish The balance of this wine is its forte, as it has a prominent graphite component that balances out the plum and berry. Not crazy about the QPR but it is nicely made.

Really masterful, polished Rutherford Bordeaux. Maybe less of an eye opening experience than the first time I tasted this wine, but it continues to impress.

Fantastic as always. A touch of sweetness. Probably our favorite red. Tiny bit of sediment in this bottle.

Napa and Sonoma, January 2024: Tasted at winery.
Deep purple color.
On the nose, earthy notes with nectarine and cherry. Also hint of Indian spice on the nose, almost garam masala notes.
Easy drinking on the palette, mellow.
Would pair well with paneer lollipops on a rainy day (who said Napa cabs can't pair with spicy Indian food?)
Our favorite wine at Quintessa!
