The Quintessa Napa Valley 2018 is a true representation of the pristine terroir of Napa Valley, USA. This vintage showcases a deep ruby red hue, with a slight purple hue that hints at its youth. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark berries, cassis, and black cherries mingle with subtle notes of vanilla and cedar. The palate is bold and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate are complemented by hints of spice and tobacco. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of dark fruits and oak. This wine is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Quintessa, who has expertly blended Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot to create a truly exceptional and complex wine. Enjoy now or cellar for years to come.

Château la Mission Haut-Brion is on uniquely stony soil in the Pessac-Léognan appellation close to the city of Bordeaux. It is a Cru Classé in the Graves Classification of 1953. The 22.5 hectare red wine vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (46%), Merlot (44%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The chateau wine is vinified in large (180hl) temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and aged in 100% new French oak for an average of 22 months. Annual production is 6000-7000 dozen. The famous white wine of the chateau comes from 3.5 ha planted to Semillon (62%) and Sauvignon Blanc (38%). Overall planting density is 10,000 vines per hectare (red) and 8000 vines per hectare (white). Since 1983, under the ownership of Domaine Clarence Dillon (which also owns the neighbouring Chateau Haut Brion), the entire estate has been renovated vineyards, winemaking facilities and the chateau itself. The property got its name in the 1600s when it was owned by the Catholic Church.
