B21 has an Incredible selection of wine, especially my favorite Pinot Noirs! However, what sets this wine shop apart from others? They have exemplary and attentive customer service. They answer emails promptly, offer shipping deals, and they will hold a wine shipment for inclement weather circumstances. What more could you want? AWESOME store!

2010 Quintessa Proprietary Red (1.5L)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford, California

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Agustin Huneeus has championed some of the greatest startups and corporate comebacks known to the wine world. He catapulted the fledgling Concha y Toro into Chile's largest wine company in the '60s. Directly responsible for transforming their entire company image, Franciscan has Huneeus to thank for leading them into the premium wine category, too. But nothing satisfies Agustin's spirit quite like his personal project, Quintessa. Along with his wife, Valeria – architect of the Quintessa vineyard – this humble couple from Santiago, Chile have transformed their Rutherford property into one of the most important Cabernet sites in the world. A dozen potential buyers came before them, but it would be only Valeria who would successfully secure this precious site – transforming the land in her own image. Quintessa – unspoiled and never before cultivated – offered the couple a truly unique opportunity. Beginning by preserving 100 acres of natural woodland, they incorporated sustainable farming from day one. Within a decade, this hidden land – sitting on the eastern edge of Rutherford, abutting the Vaca Mountain range – became a fully biodynamic paradise; fully self-contained and self-sustaining. The point, says the couple, is so that "our wine will be known for the property from which it originates, rather than its varietal composition." My current offers flirt with perfection.

Takes on a lot of chocolate, walnut and herb aromas. Full-bodied, layered and very juicy and savory. Toasted oak, coffee and tobacco. Delicious finish. Holding on nicely. Drink now.

94 points, James Suckling (May 2019)

The 2010 Proprietary Red Wine continues to drink well, showing just a slight color change at the rim. Representing a different winemaking team than current efforts (and a relatively cool vintage), it's a crisp, streamlined effort, with cigar box notes tightly framing cherry fruit, a silky feel and a lingering, mouthwatering finish.

93 points, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate (Sep 2022)

Full medium ruby. Pretty, claret-like aromas of dark raspberry, flowers, mocha, tobacco and bay leaf. Suave and fine-grained on entry, then juicy and still a bit tight in the middle palate, offering lovely inner-mouth aromatic lift and savory herbal complexity, plus a complicating hint of brown spices. Showing no easy sweetness, but builds subtly on the vibrant back half, finishing with firm, harmonious tannins and rising perfume. Not a weighty style at all--and a lovely showing.

93 points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (May 2020)

As luscious and luxurious as this wine may be, it has transparency to its flavors and a cool feel that keeps the fruit feeling fresh rather than superripe. The core of the blend comes from the center of this 280-acre estate, where the soils are gravel over rhyolite. The vineyards are planted on a series of hills between the Silverado Trail and the Napa River; the eastern hills of the property are white volcanic ash over rhyolite and the western side of the property is the kind of alluvial soil that’s more typical of Rutherford. Charles Thomas culled more than 10 percent of the fruit to diminish the impact of the heat wave in 2010 and ended with a finely ripened wine with the flavor of fat black cherries. The fruit meets firm, precise tannins in a dark and spicy cabernet with drive. For roast duck.

93 points, Wine & Spirits (Jun 2014)

Pure, rich and supple, with a mix of mocha, dark berry, cedar and black licorice notes, all coming together on the finish. The tannins keep the reverberating flavors in check. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. Drink now through 2026. 9,000 cases made.
