Beaulieu Vineyard Description

86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc.

The 2017 Tapestry is an elegant expression of this unique vintage, showing the true artistry of blending five Bordeaux-heritage grape varieties grown within the Napa Valley, which together contribute multi-layered flavors and complexity. The Cabernet Sauvignon imparts a generous core of blackberry, cassis, and anise, while the Merlot brings vibrant, riper notes of plum and dark cherry. The Merlot also softens the tannins and adds plush rich texture on the mouth pleasing palate. Malbec contributes wild raspberry notes, while the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot complete the blend with spice and delicate floral nuances of violet and wild sage. Well integrated notes of mocha and molasses also pique the senses incorporated from having been aged in new French oak barrels – which heighten the overall aromatic expression and lengthen the finish. The round, plush tannins provide approachability but with structure and depth, ensuring this wine will live up to its age-worthiness. This is a perfect bridge between old and new world – showing the restraint, elegance and sophistication of Napa Valley and highlighting the 2017 growing season.

 

James Suckling: 93 Points

Nice fruit definition to this wine with blueberry and blackberry aromas and some toasted oak. Medium-to full-bodied, creamy and balanced with chocolate and hazelnuts. Bright and vivid with just a touch of alcohol. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two.

Wine Advocate: 93 Points

The 2017 Reserve Tapestry Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It was aged in French oak, 60% new, for 22 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with energetic fruity scents of crushed black plums, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberries plus suggestions of camphor, cinnamon stick and chocolate box. The full-bodied palate is rich and decadently fruited, offering up tons of black fruit preserves and spicy layers with a taut yet approachable frame, finishing with a minty kick. 22,275 cases were made.  Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, 10/30/2020.
