The Cocktail Corner by Tessa Cloud, Assistant General Manager
Quintessa Winery: Napa Valley’s Finest Nestled in Rutherford, Napa Valley, Quintessa Winery is a stunning blend of elegance and sustainability. Founded in 1989 by Chilean vintners Agustin and Valeria Huneeus, this 280-acre estate produces some of Napa’s most acclaimed wines with a focus on craftsmanship and natural beauty. Quintessa is known for its single, exquisite Bordeaux-style red blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon and rounded out with Merlot,
Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carmenère. The 2021 Quintessa Red earned a perfect 100 from Wine Enthusiast, bursting with dark fruit, silky tannins, and a polished finish. Their crisp Sauvignon Blanc, Illumination, is a limited- production gem with vibrant character. The winery, designed by Walker Warner Architects, blends into the hillside with gravity-flow systems and cool caves for precise winemaking. The Quintessential Experience, a 90-minute private tour, offers tastings of current and library wines, artisan cheese, and breathtaking views of Dragon’s Lake. Hosts like Susan and Darren make every visit warm and personal. Valeria Huneeus, a microbiologist and viticulturist, drives Quintessa’s biodynamic and organic farming, preserving the estate’s diverse soils and biodiversity. This care shines through in every glass, capturing Rutherford’s unique terroir. Join us on May 23 for an exclusive Quintessa wine dinner, featuring their finest vintages paired with a gourmet menu. Reserve your spot for an unforgettable evening!
