Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon
Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon is the first Cabernet Sauvignon release from Meomi founder Joe Wagner. Sourced from vineyards across the appellation, it shows simple yet focused dark cherry and chocolate flavors, dusty tannin, and subtle oak, within a framework of moderate acidity and ripeness. Blackberry preserves, stewed rhubarb, hazelnut, and charred meat with notes of dark licorice, vanillin, and spice. Decadent chocolate brownie, yogurt, and molasses flavors are in perfect balance with the high-toned fruit.
Drawing from a patchwork of six prime Napa Valley AVAs to create full-bodied, rich, and decadent wines, Quilt exemplifies the classic structure of wines from the region, while the blending of fruit from a variety of vineyards allows the wines to maintain more complexity and a better style consistency from vintage to vintage.
For the 2014 Quilt Napa Valley, our first release of this wine, we focused on vineyards with well-draining, low-nutritive soils that stress the vines. The result of these soils is a grape crop with an extraordinary concentration of flavor, color, and texture. While the majority of the fruit comes from the floor of the Napa Valley to achieve the richness and elegance desired, we also relied on some grapes grown in the well-drained gravelly soils of the side slopes and at low elevations in the more mountainous areas for a blend with more structure and complexity than we could have achieved had we used fruit grown solely in a single region. Napa Valley AVAs: Oakville, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.
