QUILT

eginning with the inaugural vintage of 2014, Joseph Wagner set out to leave his mark on the wine world with the creation of Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon. Wagner, a 5th generation winemaker, hails from a prestigious winemaking family. Joseph’s father, Chuck Wagner, along with his parents founded the always popular Caymus Vineyards in 1972. Joseph worked at the winery at 19 years old, and eventually branched out in 2001 to create Belle Glos, which has a focus on vineyard- designated Pinot Noirs from California’s coastal regions. Joseph founded Quilt and released the first vintage in 2014, which he describes as coming “from a patch- work of prime Napa Valley vineyards to create a classic Cabernet Sauvignon the way my family has made it for five generations”. Currently in its 2021 vintage, Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most popular and fastest growing wine brands in America.
The 2021 Quilt received a majority of its fruit from the valley floor of Napa, from some of the most prestigious regions - Oakville, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain. Quilt shows a dark purple color with aromas of jammy black fruit, pie, and cocoa. On the palate, Quilt is a rich, luscious wine with flavors of blackberry pie, plums, and spicy clove. Quilt is elegant with a smooth mouthfeel, and a lingering finish with velvety tannins. Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon sells exceptionally well in restaurants. The wine is complex and interesting, and appeals to wine lovers of all styles. Quilt is an approachable wine, appealing to less frequent drinkers from a broad variety of backgrounds. Quilt’s luscious structure lends to a perfect pairing with nearly any dish.
