Can we put down pitchforks and talk Quilt: Napa Valley Cab for a minute?

I avoided this wine, as my wine-shop coworkers dismissed it as "Wagner trash." I ended up with a free bottle: I enjoyed it, and I think there is a time and place for it. Not only that but my guests were gushing, taking photos of the bottle, laughing and high-fiving each other. Ok maybe not the last part.

I'm curious what the consensus is on this, and are there maybe some elevated "crowd pleasers" similar to it - besides the obvious "buy them Bonanza they won't know the difference."

I think I'd really quite enjoy a wine like this with maybe 10-15% less Fruit/Extraction/RS, and I'm wondering if you have a recommendation like that?
