The original idea of owner Augustin Huneeus, who sold his share of Franciscan Vineyards in 1999, was to make 25,000 to 30,000 cases of wine (the new winery can handle up to 40,000) but in fact the favored spots on the 280-acre Quintessa estate (170 are planted to vines) thus far yield only 8,500 to 9,500 cases of topnotch wine, with the rest of the grapes being sold to Franciscan. Quintessa will soon introduce a second wine.) Sarah Gott, who was previously the winemaker at Phelps, took over as winemaker here in July of 2002, with Philippe Melka consulting. This is actually a hillside on the valley floor, quite unique considering its size," Melka points out. Gott describes Quintessa as a distinctly claret-like wine, with focused, pure fruit but perhaps less early sweetness than many of the wines made nearby. It is no doubt Quintessa's willingness to cherry-pick its best sites that has enabled it to turn out wines of very consistent quality in recent years.
