2001 Quintessa Red Rutherford Napa

92 Points   Wine Enthusiast

Quite ripe and oaky, made in a big, impressive style. Knocks you out with the density and concentration of its black currant, dark chocolate and coffee flavors. Completely dry, and with a tart, espresso-like bitterness, this beauty is guaranteed to age, with its firm tannins.  Review Date: 10/2004
