2008 Quintessa Red

"Quintessa 2008 opens with fragrant plum and raspberry aromas with notes of cola, cloveand white chocolate rounding out a delicate perfume. The wine enters the palate withsweet red currant and plum fruit flavors and a silky mouthfeel. As it coats the mouth, concentrateddark fruit flavors emerge with succulent balanced tannins, a subtle impression of well-integrated oak and sweetness from the rich, ripe fruit. This vintage will gain complexity in the bottle and age gracefully for a decade and more." - Winemaker Notes
