I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who can extract as much flavor and plush mouthfeel out of his grapes as Joe Wagner. Growing up working alongside his famous father at Caymus probably didn’t hurt. But at this point, after the success of Belle Glos and especially Quilt, he’s developed a few tricks of his own.

Joe cryo extracts and then cold soaks. He punches down and pumps over and both are done over extended periods at cool temperatures that slowly build mouthfeel while extracting maximum flavor. And as always – large percentages of new oak.

So I’ll skip to the end here for those of you in a hurry. If you’re a Caymus, Quilt, Prisoner, or Belle Glos fan then Joe Wagner just created your deal of the century.
