Quintessa, a "Cru" in the heart of Napa Valley 

Quintessa, located in Rutherford, spans 280 acres with diverse geology, biodiversity, and microclimates. Founders Agustin and Valeria Huneeus envisioned it as a world-class wine estate. The 160 acres of vineyards include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère, across 26 unique blocks. Each block is organically and biodynamically farmed, and vinified individually to capture its distinct character.

Quintessa 2021, balance, precision and freshness! 
A dry winter marked the start of 2021. Spring was refreshingly cool, and clusters developed slowly. Summer days were then moderately warm. The fruit ripened smoothly and evenly, exhibiting great color, bright acidity, and exciting flavor complexity. The 2021 unfolds with Quintessa’s signature balance of complex fruit, precise structure, and vital freshness amplified by an especially beautiful growing season.
