Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Augustin Huneeus (Quintessa) started this label in part to harness vineyards in Napa’s emerging Coombsville region, and the delicacy here signals that area’s potential for less-ripe, less in-your-face fruit. Sweet spice (think allspice) amid a slightly juicy profile - cassis and raspberry, with an orange-like tang. Fulfilling, in a less obvious way. Source: Jon Bonné, San Francisco Chronicle
