Tasting Notes

Deep garnet with scarlet red highlights in the glass.  Rich notes of plum, dark cherry, leather, black pepper and cocoa nibs greet the nose.  A full bodied blend with rich flavors of blackberry, dried cherry, tobacco, and dark chocolate with subtle hints of clove dance on the palate.  Full yet elegant on the palate, with strong acidity and a long, smooth finish accompanied by velvety tannins.

Winemaker Notes

For the Napa Valley Quilt Fabric of the Land Red Wine, Quilt works with grapes representing the diversity of varietals cultivated in the Napa Valley AVA. They source Petite Sirah, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Petit Verdot grapes from a spectrum of Napa Valley proper; from Oak Knoll in the South to Calistoga in the North. The result of blending these diverse varietals and regions yields wines of extraordinary concentration of flavor, color, and texture. While the majority of the fruit comes from the valley floor, they also relied on grapes grown on the foot-slopes to achieve the texture and grip they desired.
