It produces just one wine from its 280 acre (113 hectare) estate, a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend that is consistently met with high acclaim. The estate's founders, Agustin and Valeria Huneeus, have sought to produce one wine that expresses the terroir of the property each vintage. As a result, while always Cabernet Sauvignon-based, Quintessa's final blend is never exactly the same. While Cabernet Sauvignon dominates, there are also plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenere on the estate property. The property's hills, lake and river contribute different mesoclimates, and there are several different types of soil. The 26 separate vineyard blocks are all vinified separately, and then the final blend is decided before bottling each vintage. Agustin Huneeus was born and raised in Santiago, Chile, where he grew Concha y Toro into the largest winery in the country, before leaving the country in 1971 due to political unrest. Valeria Huneeus is a viticulturalist and has a PhD in biochemistry. After working for several prestigious wineries in Napa, they found what was to become the Quintessa property in 1989. The land had not been planted to vine before, so the Huneeus' could plant to their liking. Huneeus has an extensive history in the viticulture and oenology industry. In 2010, he purchased The Prisoner and Saldo from Orin Swift Cellars until the brand was sold to Constellation in April 2016. He also owns Faust and Illumination in Napa Valley and has a partnership with Flowers Vineyards \u0026amp; Winery on the Sonoma Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","published_at":"2024-01-16T16:19:05-05:00","created_at":"2024-01-12T15:13:20-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","Other_Wine","Producer_Quintessa","Region_California","RK110124","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0124","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":399400,"price_min":399400,"price_max":399400,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44194198814858,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2011 | Quintessa | Red (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":399400,"weight":10886,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/21_ba816adb-8616-4142-9570-31d821dc311e.jpg?v=1705090522"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/21_ba816adb-8616-4142-9570-31d821dc311e.jpg?v=1705090522","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2011 | Quintessa | Red (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":25888987545738,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.244,"height":698,"width":170,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/21_ba816adb-8616-4142-9570-31d821dc311e.jpg?v=1705090522"},"aspect_ratio":0.244,"height":698,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/21_ba816adb-8616-4142-9570-31d821dc311e.jpg?v=1705090522","width":170}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2011 | Quintessa | Red (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful deep ruby color reveals bright black cherry, cola and warm spice aromas mingled with white chocolate, delicate floral layers and a creme brulee vanilla note from the sweet oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp;
