Illumination 2024

Fra kølige vinmarker i Sonoma og Napa. Meget Pessac-stil med omhyggelig brug af træ, god konkurrence i ligaen med Fieuzal Blanc. Spændende, frisk, levende.

Suckling om: Illumination

Flashy and pure, with aromas of sliced lemons, lime leaves, honeysuckle, orange blossoms, fresh ginger, fresh herbs, citrus oil and wet stones. The palate is medium-bodied with taut, mouthwatering acidity and a generously textured mid-palate that leads to a long finish. A standout New-World sauvignon blanc in a Bordeaux Blanc style, showing real tension. Excellent. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Illumination

Coming from a mix of Sonoma and Napa fruit, the 2024 Illumination has a Bordeaux Blanc-like vibe in its ripe lime, orange blossom, mint, and spicy wood nuances. It brings plenty of sweet California fruit and is medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with bright acidity and a great finish. It's beautifully done and just an impeccable 100% Sauvignon Blanc from California. Drink bottles over the coming 3-4 years.

Colin Hay om: Illumination

(Napa Valley and Sonoma County; 58% Sauvignon Blanc; 28% Sauvignon Blanc Musqué; 14% Sémillon; 14% alcohol). Very lifted and aerial. Glossy but with incredible vertical range. Dense and compact. Quite intense. Racy with lots of viscerally animating acidity. A little peach skin and peach kernel. White grapefruit. Passionflower. Lovely in its sapid juiciness.

Parker om: Illumination

Quintessa's 2024 Illumination blends fruit from Napa (55%) and Sonoma (45%). As usual, there's a decent-sized dollop of old-vine Sémillon (14% this year) in the blend, with the rest of the fruit being Sauvignon Blanc—roughly one-third of that is the more aromatic Musqué clone. Fermented and raised in a variety of vessels, including new and old French oak barrels, acacia barrels, stainless steel drums and concrete eggs, it offers up enticing scents of pencil shavings, lemon zest, grapefruit and fig. Plump and medium-bodied in the mouth, it boasts a fine line of acidity from start to finish, giving the fruit a spine to play against and prolonging the concentrated, citrusy finish.

Quintessa vingården ligger i Napa Valley i Californien vest for Silverado Trail, ved foden af Vaca-bjergene og derfor lige i hjertet af Rutherford. Den blev grundlagt i 1989 af det chilenske vinmagerpar Agustin og Valeria Huneeus. De plantede 113 hektar vinmarker i det uspolerede, vilde landskab -...
