In 2005, careful yield management and a truly ideal fall ripening climate gave Quintessa wines with structure, refined tannins, elegance and potential for long aging. The 2005 Quintessa opens with beautiful complexity, perfume and nuance on the nose. In the glass, the wine amplifies with time and a quiet entry builds to a structured, solid mid-palate with dense black fruit. Its long finish unfolds with exquisitely supple tannins and a caress of sweet fruit.

Wine CANNOT be shipped and must be picked up at the Urban School in San Francisco.
