James Suckling: 99 Points
This is so open and perfumed with blackcurrants, stone and conifer. Full-bodied with fine, velvety tannins that spread across the palate in a layered way. Wonderfully polished and powdered. Rather ethereal.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2019 Quella is powerful and virile from the first taste. All of the natural intensity of the year comes through loud and clear. There's plenty of tannic heft that is such a Quella signature, but also plenty of fruit. In 2019, Quella is a bit somber and brooding in feel. It's fascinating to taste in this range of 2019s.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
This has generous flavors of enticingly spiced blackberry and boysenberry compote, along with a tumble of bramble, warm earth and chaparral accents. Plenty grippy too, with a cast iron spine driving the finish. Will age well.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
Located on the eastern side of the valley at about the same latitude as Saint Helena, Quella was planted in 1998/99 on light-colored volcanic tufa and river cobbles. Scents of crushed stone mark the nose on the 2019 Quella, accenting blueberry and blackberry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, with juicy, mouthwatering acids and ripe, creamy-supple, tannins, making for a pleasant juxtaposition on the wine's lingering finish.
