Quintet

Quintet Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Intensely fruity yet inherently complex, this blend of Bordeaux varieties has a nose overflowing with juniper spice. Let the glass stand for a moment, and the berry aromas begin to blossom. Next comes cranberry, then bright cherry, followed by tart raspberry and finally ripe blackberry, showcasing a density and freshness usually reserved for young Zinfandel. Sprinkle in hints of shaved vanilla, and the masterpiece of the nose is complete. However, the multi-dimensional experience has just begun. When talking about people or wine, complexity and youth are seldom considered in the same thought. But the 2000 Quintet has endless cherry and fresh berry characters shuffled with hints of “classic” Cabernet herbaceousness. The finish is long and lingering with a pinch of oak and a dash of vanilla.. And the palate of this wine is just coming into its own with an elegant structure and youthful tannins that suggest a long and interesting life.
