Sean Quinn Mighty Quinn Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2016
About the wine
This fantasy wine packs a punch - get this rare Napa red while it lasts!
- Thanks to THOUSANDS of Angel votes, this Napa winemaker won $100,000 to make the biggest, mightest Cabernet Franc in the Valley. It was his Winemaker Fantasy!
- Now, Mighty Quinn – Sean's debut red – is your exclusive prize. Harvested from 4 signature Napa regions (Carneros, Mt. Veeder, Atlas Peak and Coombsville) it's bigger than your biggest Cab, full of lush black cherry fruit and finish that's so intense, your tastebuds will ask for a replay.
- There's very little Cab Franc planted in Napa, and every berry is in high demand. Sean's fantasy wine is one of the few of its kind... and it's a killer price for the Angels who made it happen.
Best before
This wine has been bottled early to retain freshness, but contains ample tannin structure which will mellow with some ageing, developing more approachability over the next 3-5 years.
Serving advice
With the full tannin structure of this wine, allow for plenty of time for the wine to "open up" and develop. If patient, the aromas and bouquet will continue to develop in the glass as you enjoy.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sean M. Quinn
Years Angel-funded: 2016-17
Sean Quinn won nakedwines.com's Winemaker Fantasy competition in 2016 – and the opportunity to make a Napa Valley Cabernet Franc to his precise spec!
- Sean currently works as a winemaker for Hannah Nicole Vineyards. He's also spent time in Napa working for big cellars like Viader, Tudal Winery, Pine Ridge and Chateau St. Jean!
- Hailing from Virginia, Sean's winemaking dreams led him on treks across the world, including harvests in Australia (working in McLaren Vale) before landing him in the Napa/Sonoma valleys
- Over the years, he's helped bottle hundreds of Cabernet Sauvignons (Napa's favorite varietal, hands down)...but his Winemaker Fantasy dreams focused on an even bigger red: Cabernet Franc. Or as he called it, "the big daddy!"
