Beaulieu Vineyard Reserve 'Tapestry' 2018
2018 Tapestry offers a beautiful rusticity in this elegant expression of this tremendous 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.
Grape Varieties: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec & 1% Cabernet Franc
Wine Region: Napa Valley, California
Tasting Note: The Cabernet Sauvignon imparts a generous core of bramble berry fruits with blackberries, blueberries, black cherry compote and cassis, with hints of anise, while the Merlot brings vibrant, riper notes of plum and dark cherry. The Merlot also softens the tannins and adds a plush texture with notes of black currant and plum on the palate. he firm, velvety tannins provide structure and depth, ensuring this wine will live up to its age-worthiness.
Food Pairing: Rosemary Braised Lamb Shanks
