Good depth for this vintage, with lots of brightness. Medium-bodied with a good amount of fine tannins and lots of bright, juicy fruit. Dark cherries and a touch of fine spices. Fresh and friendly, with good texture and length. A classic vintage with lighter weight and very little perception of sweetness. 77.2% merlot and 22.8% cabernet franc.

The 2024 Quintus is gracious, elegant and polished. Spice, tobacco, cedar and an exotic touch of blood orange give the 2024 lovely aromatic presence to match its mid-weight personality. There is a touch of new oak, but that should not be an issue with élevage. Here, too, the balance is very fine.

Black cherries, licorice, flowers, and plums are already quite expressive in the nose, and on the palate. Medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, soft-textured, and polished, the wine is all about its purity of fruit, refinement, lift, and energy which you see, from start to finish in its core of raspberries, strawberries, and cherries that linger. The wine blends 77.2% Merlot, with 22.8% Cabernet Franc. 13.1% ABV. The harvest took place September 24 - October 4. Yields were 34 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2028-2042.
