about this wine:
"Harvest Dates: September 16, 2002 - October 5, 2002 Skin contact: 30 days Time in oak: 20 months Type of oak: 100% New, French oak from diverse forests north of the Loire River;emphasis on tight grain wood. Release date: September 1, 2005 The bouquet of this wine is a rich mAclange of floral and black fruits. A delicate brush stroke from Titian, the accent is on opulence tempered by finesse. A bold attack, that astonishes with its richness, and then a seamless segue to an ultra ripe, integrated and well textured mid-palette. A brooding monolithic mass of bold velvet robed tannins, the assurance of graceful aging leading to a finish that lingers and flirts endlessly. The paragon of the Quintessa Vineyard."

Tight and complex, with layers of spicy currant, earth, cedar, toast and anise. Firms up on the finish, with crisp acidity and mineral notes...
