DYNASTY

 

94 Points · Up to 33% Off · Napa Royalty

Memorial Day Sale · 48 Hours Only · Ends Monday Night

Here’s a question worth $30 a bottle: when the son of the man who built Caymus makes a 94-point Napa Cabernet… why is almost nobody paying full price for it?

This weekend, you won’t have to.

Chuck Wagner turned Caymus Vineyards into one of the most celebrated names in Napa history. His son, Joe Wagner, carved his own legend — founding Belle Glos, one of California’s most sought-after Pinot Noirs — before creating Quilt as his tribute to the patchwork of Napa’s finest vineyard blocks. Same family. Same farming. Same Napa pedigree. A fraction of the iconic-Cab price.

We negotiated a distributor deal and we’re passing every dollar straight to you: as low as $29.97 a bottle on the 2023 Quilt Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon — the same wine that pours for $66–$80 at national steakhouses.

Sommelier Journal — 94 Points

“A classic Napa Cab built to impress. Dark cherry, black currant, and cassis lead the way, wrapped in toasted oak, vanilla, and a whisper of dark chocolate. The palate is plush and full-bodied with velvety tannins and a long, warm finish.”

The Questions Every Napa Cab Lover Asks

Every week, people searching for a great Napa Cabernet ask the same things. Here’s where Quilt lands on each:

Q: What Napa Cab ages well without costing $100+?

Quilt is built to improve for 5–7 years in the cellar — structured, full-bodied, velvety tannins — yet starts at $29.97 this weekend instead of triple digits.

Q: Is Quilt really connected to Caymus?

Yes. Chuck Wagner built Caymus into one of Napa’s most awarded estates. His son Joe Wagner — founder of Belle Glos — created Quilt from the same Napa heritage and farming philosophy. Same bloodline, same valley, a fraction of the price.

Q: How is Caymus different from Quilt — and why does Quilt cost so much less?

Caymus is the flagship California icon with decades of demand behind its price. Quilt is Joe Wagner’s project to bring that lush, classic Napa style to a wider audience — same family standards, priced for the everyday table. We negotiated a distributor deal and passed every dollar to you.

Q: What pairs with a Memorial Day ribeye, brisket, or lamb?

Exactly this. Quilt’s plush dark fruit and velvety structure were made for grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, smoked brisket, lamb chops, and aged cheddar.

Q: Is there a value bottle that drinks like the California classics?

That’s exactly what Quilt is — and the steakhouses agree. Fleming’s and The Capital Grille list it right alongside the iconic California names (see below).

Why Buy the Full 24 — The Maximum You Can Get

The lowest price unlocks at 24 bottles, and 24 is also the hard cap per wine, per person. Here’s why filling that allotment makes sense:

1. Lowest price unlocks only at 24. The $29.97 tier — your best price, about 33% off the single-bottle rate — is reached only at 24 bottles. Buy fewer and you pay more per bottle. This is the floor.
2. Restaurant math is on your side. Fleming’s pours this at $80 and The Capital Grille lists it near $66. At $29.97 you’re effectively buying at a fraction of restaurant pricing — the savings across 24 bottles is enormous.
3. It ages — so it won’t go to waste. Structured to improve over 5–7 years. A case you don’t open this summer only gets better.
4. Summer is wall-to-wall occasions. Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, BBQs, host gifts. A case means you’re never caught empty-handed — and a bottle this pedigreed is an instant impressive gift.
5. The 2023 vintage won’t come back at this price. Once this distributor inventory clears, Quilt returns to full retail — around $45 in stores and $66–$80 on restaurant lists. The 24-bottle window closes Monday night.
6. You can do it for both wines. The 24-bottle max is per wine — so you can lock in 24 of the Cabernet and 24 of the Fabric of the Land Red Blend at their best pricing.

If You Love the California Icons…

Quilt Napa Cab lives in the same plush, dark-fruit Napa style as the iconic California classics — for a fraction of what you’d normally pay.

If you love… Typical retail* Quilt Cab
Caymus Napa Cabernet ~$68–80 $29.97
Pahlmeyer Jayson Napa Cab ~$70–90 $29.97
Papillon (Orin Swift) ~$80–90 $29.97

If You Love a Napa Red Blend…

Quilt “The Fabric of the Land” delivers that lush, layered blend character — at everyday-pour pricing.

If you love… Typical retail* Fabric of the Land
The Prisoner ~$40–47 $25.97
Orin Swift “Abstract” ~$33–40 $25.97
Orin Swift “8 Years in the Desert” ~$30–40 $25.97

*Typical U.S. retail (Total Wine, BevMo, wine-searcher), spring 2026; varies by store and vintage. These are different wines — the point is style family and what you’d normally pay in this category.
