Quilt Red Blend California Wine

The origin on record is California, with no narrower region named. Quilt names Joe Wagner as its owner and the winemaker. In our September 2026 checks it ranged from $31.99 to $39.99 across the stores we looked at.

The name calls this a red blend, and the producer's own listing for the current 2024 vintage, "The Fabric of the Land," names the blend directly: Petite Sirah, Merlot, Zinfandel and Petit Verdot, though it does not give exact percentages. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. If you are choosing at the shelf, the maker and the origin are what you have to go on. Among the wines shoppers have rated here, the middle score is 4.71.

The producer's own listing gives the wine's full name as "The Fabric of the Land" for the 2024 vintage, priced at $40 for a 750 mL bottle on the producer's site. The winemaking notes describe a deep cold soak using dry ice, called cryo-extraction, to draw color and flavor from the skins, followed by extended maceration to soften tannins and time in French oak; the same page attributes spice and complexity to the Petite Sirah, round mouthfeel and soft tannins to the Merlot, a fruit core to the Zinfandel, and structure and color to the Petit Verdot. The listing suggests pairing the wine with grilled pork chops and garlic mashed potatoes, spaghetti bolognese, or skirt steak with chimichurri.

Our call: a named blend and a specific winemaking account make this worth trying; Quilt's own listing spells out the four grapes in "The Fabric of the Land," Petite Sirah, Merlot, Zinfandel and Petit Verdot, and details how each is meant to contribute to the finished wine. Pass if you want exact blend percentages or a shopper's rating; Quilt states the four grapes but not the proportions, and no rating has reached our record yet.
