13 from magnum. Been awhile since I’ve had this producer. Still solid but not one I buy.

Some of the tasty treats at opening night Pebble Beach Food & Wine.

Hmm. The 2014 was outstanding. This is overripe, not as balanced, and a little hot for the $. Disappointed.

Nice wine and will likely show much better in a few years but I like the 2010 better right now

Top notch wine, no need for explanations just drink a bottle as soon as you can.

This is an amazing wine. My first bottle of Quintessa, and it's knocked my socks off. Easily up there with Harlan and others, but at less than half the price. 2013 vintage.
