The Quintessa Magnum 2009 is a meticulously crafted Bordeaux blend, predominantly featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, from Rutherford, California. It presents a fresh floral and violet aroma mingling with plum and currant, complemented by notes of warm clove spice, sassafras and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is supple with pleasing richness and density, delivering dark berry fruits, cassis and chocolate, all leading to a long and satisfying finish.
