Quintessa Napa Valley 2018

Quintessa, ein Flaggschiff von einem roten Kalifornier, ist eigentlich in jedem Jahr von so außerordentlicher Qualität und Intensität, dass man hier beinahe blind zugreifen könnte. Und dennoch unterscheiden sich auch diese Weine nach ihren jeweiligen Jahrgängen und den Bedingungen unter denen Sie hergestellt wurden, namentlich den Wettereinflüssen. So hat jeder Jahrgang seinen eigenen Charakter und seine individuellen Eigenschaften.Beim 2018er Quintessa lautet das Stichwort: Harmonie. Dieser Rebsaft ist immer ein Monolith der Frucht und der Sonne; hinzu kommt aber in 2018 noch eine unglaubliche Ausgewogenheit und Balance seines Wesens, die ihn ein weiteres Mal in die oberste Liga im Napa Valley katapultieren.Das Wetter in 2018 war in Rutherford, der Heimat des Quintessas, frei von jedweden Extremen und durchgängig mild. Der Herbst, die Erntezeit, lies allen Raum um präzise zur richtigen Zeit zu ernten, ohne jeden Druck, so dass eine perfekte Reife gewährleistet werden konnte.Intensive Aromen von Cassis, Schwarzkirsche, Himbeeren, etwas Salbei und Thymian, dunkle Schokolade, Graphit und frischer Tabak verbinden sich mit einem Korb von roten und schwarzen Früchten zu einem extrem harmonischen Gesamtkunstwerk. Die gut gegenbalancierende Säure und ein feines Gerüst von seidigen und geschliffenen Tanninen bilden die Basis, aus der sich ein schier unendlicher Ausklang ergibt.

Seña Eduardo Chadwick 2020

Seña is an icon of viticulture in South America. The Chilean red wine has fascinated international wine critics for many years. In Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Luis Gutiérrez has never awarded the Seña less than 96 points since 2015. James Suckling even awarded 100 points in 2015 and 2018 for the noble red wine, which has been backed by Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi, two greats of the wine world, since 1995. The 2020 Seña vintage is also outstanding. The creation from the Aconcagua Valley was awarded 97 points by Gutiérrez and 98 by Suckling.The bouquet of the blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 15% Carmenere and 7% Petit Verdot is impressively complex. Notes of raspberries and cherries form the intensely fruity basis. They create a stimulating interplay with balsamic notes of cedar and tobacco as well as nuances of dill and rosemary, explains Francisco Baettig, the technical director of Seña.The wine "is subtle and multi-layered, not just fruit, but with more spice," Gutiérrez says of the 2020 vintage. Suckling's verdict: "Complex, with a spicy character, the nose shows tobacco, salty plums, olives, black cherries, cassis and a hint of white pepper, followed by a fine, spicy, balsamic accent."On the palate, the deep garnet-red Chilean blend is dry, dense and powerful, with masterfully integrated, polished tannins. The Seña 2020 has "very fine-grained tannins, plus freshness, acidity and tension. Very balanced in a rather warm vintage," says Baettig.Gutiérrez also writes of polished tannins and very well-integrated wood maturation after 22 months in barriques. According to the Spaniard, 78% new wood was used and 10% of the wine was aged in large Stockinger barrels, i.e. barrels from the world-renowned barrel maker from Austria.Seña's vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley, along the Aconcagua River, which flows from the Andes into the Pacific, offer the perfect terroir for perfect wines. Located on the eastern side of the coastal mountains, and thus shielded from the direct influence of the ocean, the growing area also benefits from a Mediterranean climate and the cooling effect of the world's oceans. The fact that Seña was an early adopter of biodynamic viticulture also ensures that this Chilean red wine fully develops the extraordinary potential of the terroir.You can already drink the Seña 2020 now. An outstanding enjoyment experience is guaranteed. If you wait a little longer (from 2025), it will be even greater.
