About Quintessa
Quintessa takes its name from the quintessence — the quinta essentia, the fifth essence of medieval philosophy (beyond earth, water, fire, and air) that was the ethereal substance of which the heavens and celestial bodies were composed. The quintessence was the most refined, purest possible form of matter: the fifth element that transcended the material four. Applied to wine, the quintessential philosophy declares a single-estate Meritage blend of the most refined possible character from the Rutherford benchland. Agustin and Valeria Huneeus's Silverado Trail South estate produces a single wine each vintage. Wine Advocate has scored Quintessa at 94–98 points.
