Tasting Notes

Dark ruby red hues swirl in the glass while rich aromas of chocolate, black currant, ripe blackberry, and marionberry with hints of toasted oak and dark cherry. Rich and complex with flavors of ripe dark fruits, chocolate cherry, plum, blackberry pie and toffee on the palate. This beautiful cabernet has a lingering fruit-forward finish with firm acidity and smooth velvety tannins. A classic yet complex Napa Valley Cabernet!

About the Wine

For the Napa Valley Quilt, we focused on vineyards with well-draining, low-nutritive soils that stress the vines. The result of these soils is a grape crop with extraordinary concentration of flavor, color and texture. 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 along with high elevation in the 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.
