About this Wine:

While the majority of the fruit comes from the floor of the Napa Valley, to achieve the richness and elegance desired, we also relied on some grapes grown in the well-drained gravelly soils of the side slopes and at low elevations in the more mountainous areas for a blend with more structure and complexity than we could have achieved had we used fruit grown solely in a single region. Napa Valley AVAs: Oakville, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.

For Napa Valley Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, the winemaking process started by picking fruit at optimum physiological maturity; lignified seeds and canes, a slight dimpling of the berries (dehydration) and once in the cellar, we kept wine lots separated by individual vineyard. The wine went from cold soak to extended maceration for up to 60 days in some cases, and we re-evaluated the progress of each lot before moving the wine to classic Bordeaux and Burgundy barrels (70% new oak) where it underwent malolactic fermentation, and was racked every 4 to 6 months until blending 20 months later.

Tasting Notes:

COLOR: Dark plum with cherry highlights.
AROMAS: Abundant aromas of tart blackberry, chocolate nibs, and cassis with hints of culinary herbs and lightly toasted oak.
PALATE: Rich and satisfying with flavors of boysenberry jam, black cherry pie filling, and cocoa layered with notes of vanilla and hazelnut. Full yet elegant on the palate, with strong acidity and a long, smooth finish accompanied by velvety tannins.

Food Pairing:
Dry rub pork ribs, eggplant parmesan, rib eye with mashed potatoes, or a hearty charcuterie platter.

Ratings & Reviews

Wine Advocate: 

"Impressively dark in the glass, Quilt's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is gently floral-minty on the nose, with deeper, fruitier notes of cassis. It's full-bodied, supple and plush in the mouth. Some may argue that it's too creamy and soft, maybe even a touch sweet, but it will push many folks' pleasure buttons." - Joe Czerwinski (Dec 2023)
