Quella 2016

99 Points Jeff Leve. ''Spearmint, herbs, tobacco leaf, smoke, blackberries and plum aromatics are all over the place. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich, long and intense. Silk and velvet-textured fruits cascade over your palate. You cannot help but take another sip and one after that. 99 Points". The Wine Cellar Insider

Wine Advocate - Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Quella slips seductively out of the glass with notes of warm black plums, blueberry preserves, licorice and crème de cassis with suggestions of wild sage, pencil lead, camphor and Marmite toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is like a tightly wound spring, featuring bags of black fruit and earthy nuances and a solid, grainy frame, finishing long and refreshing. (LP, 9/2019)
