Origin | California, Napa Valley |
Made by Joe Wagner, fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker, of Caymus fame. Throughout California’s coastal growing regions, vines from young to old, Joe selects from a broad array of terroirs giving Quilt the luxury of blending a red that defies the norms. As THREADCOUNT is commonly known, it is the sum of the threads and weft of a fabric, denoting its texture. With this red wine, Wagner has taken an approach that takes the sum of the phenols against the natural acidity to create the most balanced and enjoyable red wine, with no holds barred.
• The grapes were harvested early in the morning so the fruit would arrive at the winery while still cool to preserve the vineyard-fresh flavors.
• After de-stemming the berries, the fruit was cryo-extracted and then cold-soaked to soften the skins and allow for ideal extraction.
• During fermentation in a combination of closed and open-top stainless-steel fermenters, punch-downs and pump-overs were preformed to extract color, tannins, keeping temperatures low to build mouthfeel and maximize flavors.
• Finally, the wines are aged in 50% new French oak for between 12-16 months. After the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, it was racked every 6 months before the final blend was complete.
Dark cherry with scarlet red highlights. Complex aromas of black raspberry, milk chocolate, and soft hints of sweet cedar. Bold flavors of boysenberry pie, sugar cookie, and toffee lead to subtle notes of strawberry jam and baking spice. The balanced and complex tannin structure creates a long-lasting enjoyable finish. Pairs well with tri-tip crostini, pork ribs with mashed potatoes, or pasta with a bolognese sauce.
