Quintessa's 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa


This wine never disappoints.  Consistent year-to-year with scores in the mid-90's from just about every critic and for nearly every year.  A big nose of plum and earthy spice.  Flavors of cherry and plum, mixed with light tannins (taste of leather?) and a structured, but clean and pleasant finish.

I shared this wine with some customers at the Soho House in Hollywood.  The price was orbital ($235), but sometimes you have to splurge for the big experience.

You can find the wine at a much more "palatable price" on Wine.com for $139 a bottle.

If you do buy this bottle, lay it down.  I am saving one from a friend for a few more years...

$$$/+++
