Located off Silverado Trail, Quintessa is a gem. Not only do they have some of the most beautiful grounds in the valley, but they have outstanding wines.
On arrival, we were bundled into a comfortable cart and driven up and around the back of the hill on which the winery tasting room is situated. On the backside, you get a view of the lake and the lovely hill. And for bird watchers there are a lot of birds to see.
The tasting room is very modern looking, almost stark. But enough of that! What about the wine!?
I was coming to that. The wines are few. They had four on offer the day we visited. But boy were they amazing. These are some to seek out. There are so many spectacular wines in Napa Valley, but these are some of the pinnacle wines sitting atop the mountain in rarified air. There were several that we tried that were near 100 pointers. The quality makes up for the short list for sure.
