2023 Cabernet Sauvignon-Quintessence
[Quintessence Vineyard, Red Mountain, WA | 225 Cases]
TASTING NOTES: This Cabernet commands attention with its deep ruby cloak, hinting at its intensity. The nose reveals a bold medley of blue fruit, blackberry, and blueberry, enriched by caramel, nutmeg, chocolate, and a savory whisper of charred meat. The palate is powerful, with gripping tannins framing rich chocolate, unripe red fruit, and a sturdy leather backbone—a wine of structure and depth, built for the ages.
