The red 2015 Quest is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot that was fermented exclusively in the 12th-century stone lagars they have, followed by malolactic and 18 months aging in brand new French barriques and a further five months in oak foudre. 2015 was a concentrated and powerful vintage. It's a serious, balanced and harmonious red with clear reminiscences of the Bordeaux varieties it has. It's spicy (cracked peppercorns!) and tasty, with balanced flavors, good acidity and medium body, nicely textured. There are even some red fruit notes that denote freshness. 12,400 bottles and 80 magnums were filled in August 2017.
