What grapes are in quilt red wine?

Answered by Ian Ramirez

Our Napa Valley Quilt Fabric of the Land Red showcases the rich diversity of grape varietals cultivated in the renowned Napa Valley AVA. We believe that the true essence of our wine lies in the careful selection of grapes that represent the unique terroir and character of this region.

To create this exceptional red blend, we source grapes from a spectrum of vineyards located throughout the Napa Valley. Each vineyard contributes its own distinct grape varietal, resulting in a harmonious and complex wine that truly reflects the fabric of this extraordinary land.

One of the key grape varietals in our Quilt Fabric of the Land is Petite Sirah. This robust and deeply colored grape adds structure, intensity, and dark fruit flavors to the blend. It brings a boldness and depth that helps anchor the wine and adds a layer of complexity.

Merlot, another important component of our blend, lends its soft and supple characteristics to the wine. Known for its smooth tannins and approachable nature, Merlot contributes flavors of ripe red and black fruits, adding a touch of elegance and balance to the final blend.

Zinfandel, a grape varietal that thrives in the Napa Valley, brings a vibrant and juicy character to our quilt red wine. With its bold flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and spice, Zinfandel adds a lively and energetic element, enhancing the overall complexity and flavor profile.

Lastly, we incorporate Petit Verdot, a lesser-known grape varietal, but one that adds depth, color, and structure to our blend. Petit Verdot contributes rich aromas of dark fruits, along with firm tannins and a velvety mouthfeel, lending additional complexity and longevity to the wine.

By sourcing grapes from various vineyards spanning from Oak Knoll in the South to Calistoga in the North, we are able to capture the diverse microclimates and soil types that make the Napa Valley so unique. This allows us to craft a quilt red wine that showcases the best of what this region has to offer.

Our Napa Valley Quilt Fabric of the Land Red Wine is a carefully crafted blend of Petite Sirah, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Petit Verdot grapes sourced from different vineyards in the Napa Valley AVA. Each grape varietal brings its own distinct characteristics, contributing to a wine that is complex, balanced, and truly representative of the diverse fabric of this renowned wine region.
