Quintarelli was a master, and this was one of his last creations -- a Cab Franc done in an Amarone style. This is a treat -- Violets, blue fruit, cooked blackberry jam, stewed figs, overripe Concord grapes on a hot summer day, damp earth. Acidity is medium, and tannins are still quite assertive. Delicious. Thanks to Master Somm Alan Murray for sharing this grand wine.
