Quintessence Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and very fruity on the palate.

Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite, vegetables and herbs.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

Rich and extracted. Fruit forward with nice complexity.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Very tasty and good by itself. This Single Vineyard needs time to open up properly, so be patient.

I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

15.1% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$70.

Quintessence d'Altesse Roussette de Savoie 2018

Lyle Fass
9.3

Huge nose. Huge aromas. Green apple, spice, white alpine fields of flowers. Also fresh tilled dirt. Like the freshest. Huge earnest and vocal aromatic minerality reminds me of Chenin Muscadet. Like Coteaux de Loir or Jasnieres. So layered and complex. Really just ethereal and so distinct. This is one of the longest aging Altesse out there. Wow, so elegant and pure with just searing mineral force. Juicy and so balanced with unreal acidity and depth. This is not for everyone in that it has a severity/austerity not meant for every drinker but all my geeks will adore this. So luscious. It’s the liquid equivalent of a long, meandering Tarkovsky film like Stalker or Nostalgia. Love it. — 4 years ago

La Quintessence Chenin Blanc 1994

It is mind blowing how chenin Blanc has the potential to produce such long lasting fresh wines. Full bodied, apricot which is mouth filling and unctuous yet does not overpower you and stays fresh making you go for the next glass. Magnificent bottle from “den Eddy”. — 4 years ago
