THREADCOUNT A BOLD QUILT CABERNET SAUVIGNON

California is a winemaker's playground, home to an incredible range of vineyard sites—from fog-kissed coastal hills to sun-drenched valleys. But as prestige regions have risen to fame, so have their price tags, leaving wine lovers to choose between splurging or settling. With THREADCOUNT, we believe world-class Cabernet should be an everyday luxury.

That's why we created THREADCOUNT California Cabernet—a wine that captures the richness, diversity, and spirit of California at a price that over delivers. Sourced from a curated blend of the state's most renowned AVAs, this Cabernet unites coastal freshness with inland ripeness for a balanced, fruit-forward, and deeply satisfying expression.

As a cornerstone of our portfolio, THREADCOUNT California Cabernet stands on its own while also serving as a gateway to our Napa Valley Quilt collection. Whether you're new to Cabernet or a longtime fan, this wine delivers bold flavor, smooth structure, and the unmistakable character of California in every glass.

This inaugural Cabernet is meticulously handcrafted by Joe Wagner, a fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker with an unwavering passion for farming grapes and producing luxury wines. Joe embarked on his wine journey in 2001 at the age of nineteen. His enthusiasm and innate winemaking talent became evident swiftly when he established his acclaimed single vineyard Pinot Noir label, Belle Glos. Joe later introduced Napa Valley Quilt, which rapidly ascended to the ranks of top 10 luxury wines in just five vintages. THREADCOUNT serves as an extension of the Quilt winemaking style, adapted for more laid-back occasions.

WINEMAKER NOTES

We produce Cabernet from a myriad of California's most renowned regions to make this one-of-a-kind, highly versatile and prestigious varietal. After de-stemming the berries, the grapes are cryo-extracted, followed by a brief cold soak to soften the skins and finally led into a chilled fermentation to maximize extraction over a long period, often 60 days on skins. During fermentation, punch-downs and pump-over techniques were performed in a combination of closed and open-top stainless-steel fermenters in order to extract every bit of color and tannin mother nature gave us. The wines are aged in 50% new French oak for between 12-16 months. After the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, it was racked every 6 months before the final blend was complete. This Cabernet is intended to be a full-force expression on the palate, with abundant forward fruit, spice, and breadth —making it a perfect match for hearty meals or a quiet evening by the fire.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Dark ruby red. AROMA: Complex aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, plum and toasty oak. PALATE: Rich and full-bodied, with dark berry fruit, toasty oak, smooth tannins, and a finish that lingers just long enough to make you want another sip. Beautifully rounded with an elegantly smooth finish accompanied by smooth tannins. Crafted for immediate enjoyment, but structured enough to age gracefully over a few years.

FOOD PAIRING: Pepper crusted pork chop and fingerling potatoes, lamb skewers or a pan seared chicken.
