Quilt Red Blend
Description: | In order to create a blend that highlights the outstanding terroir of the Napa Valley, our winemaking begins in the vineyards picking fruit at optimum physiological maturity. Each vineyard lot is kept separate from the moment the grapes were harvested until nal blending. Once in the cellar, each lot is worked with in a tailor-made fashion. Typically beginning with a deep cold soak, (cryoextraction) to best prepare the skins to give up all the phenolics and color they can during fermentation. Cold and long fermentations allow ample time to coax these elements out. Finally, extended maceration to soften harsh tannins. The wines are then aged in French Oak barrels. The Petite Sirah adds spice and complexity, Merlot contributes round mouthfeel and soft tannins, Zinfandel provides a vibrant fruit core, and Petit Verdot gives structure and color to the nal blend. The Fabric of the Land, Napa Valley. |
