WINEMAKER'S 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.
TASTING NOTES:
Deeply pigmented, this blend of Petite Sirah, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Petit Verdot possesses QUILT a full body but open flavors and a gentle texture, Deftly balanced so that a hint of fruity sweetness buffers the tannins, it can be enjoyed as a standalone sipper or as a partner for robust foods.
