Quilt Napa Valley

Quilt Napa Valley is a modern yet deeply rooted wine brand that captures the rich essence of Napa’s most celebrated vineyards. Created by Joseph Wagner, a fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker, Quilt represents a seamless blend of tradition and innovation. The brand’s name reflects the patchwork of vineyard sites used to produce its wines—each plot offering distinct character and complexity. Quilt's approach is about more than winemaking; it's about storytelling through terroir, capturing the best of the Napa Valley in every bottle.

Craftsmanship and Distillation

Quilt’s wines are meticulously crafted using grapes from premium vineyard sites across Napa Valley, including Atlas Peak, Howell Mountain, Oakville, and St. Helena. The winemaking process emphasizes precision, from hand-harvesting and small-lot fermentation to extended aging in French oak barrels. The brand balances modern techniques with old-world sensibilities, ensuring structure, depth, and sophistication in every vintage. Each wine is a careful blend—hence the name Quilt—of different parcels, yielding a final product that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

Aroma & Bouquet

Quilt wines are renowned for their rich aromatic profiles. The flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, opens with bold notes of black cherry, cocoa, and ripe blackberry, interwoven with hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. These layered aromatics are achieved through the strategic use of both oak aging and terroir-driven vineyard selection, offering a sensory experience that is both inviting and intriguing.

Smooth & Finish

One of the most defining features of Quilt wines is their exceptionally smooth texture. On the palate, they offer full-bodied richness without being overpowering, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and graceful, echoing notes of dark fruit, spice, and a whisper of mocha. These wines are designed to be approachable in their youth but also built to age gracefully, rewarding those who wait.

Awards and Recognition

Quilt Napa Valley wines have garnered critical acclaim from wine publications and competitions alike. Their Cabernet Sauvignon has consistently received high scores from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast, praised for its depth, balance, and elegance. Quilt's commitment to quality continues to position it as a standout in the competitive Napa landscape.
