Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Reserve Napa Valley 750ml

Our Cabernet Sauvignons garner their style from the diverse array of vineyards in Napa’s mountain, benchland and valley floor areas. Within each of these unique topographies, we focus on locations with well drained, nutrient deprived soils that can stress the vines. With proper farming, the grapes from these locations possess extraordinary concentration of flavor, color, and texture. Cabernet Sauvignon does not lend itself to vineyard designation. Quite the contrary. Cab thrives when blending multiple vineyard sites especially in places as diverse as Napa Valley with its multitude of soils, slopes, and pockets of unique weather.

Our approach is to create a perfect balance in this Cab by marrying the weight and firm tannins of the mountains with the supple fruit forward notes of the valley floor and honoring the natural acidity.

COLOR Deep, dark ruby red

AROMATICS Black currant, bright cherry, toffee, blackberry, marionberry pie and notes of dark chocolate.

PALATE Rich and satisfying with flavors of boysenberry jam, black cherry pie filling, and cocoa layered with notes of vanilla and hazelnut.
