Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa Valley

For our Quilt Napa Valley Reserve, we tasted the developing wine throughout the fermentation and aging processes, then set aside the best 1% for this reserve bottling. Our lot selection was based on intensity, complexity and boldness of expression that could withstand a longer aging cycle and heavier use of new French oak. Full bodied and supple, with dark berry fruit, strawberry and plum, vanilla, chocolate, and hazelnut cream. 100 % Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Notes:

Deep garnet in color.

Baking spice aromas of cinnamon and clove are intertwined with dark stone fruits, blackberry pie, vanilla, white pepper, and notes of oak and rose.

A full-bodied palate presents layers of dark black cherry, coffee, blackberry, dark currant, and notes of milky chocolate.

Beautifully rounded with an unctuous velvety mouthfeel.  This refined wine is a sensational expression of what a Napa Valley Cabernet represents with a long, smooth finish and fine-grained tannins.
