Beaulieu Vineyard
Reserve Tapestry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
The one thing I get from this wine w/ this age is cognac notes and the 07 is just starting cognac notes on the long set. Still, rounded, medium plus, velvety tannins.
The fruits are ripe, juicy, lush; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum skin, darkest cherries, & red cherries on the long set, strawberry hues. Chocolate/ cake/pudding/mousse, dark berry cola, mocha, dark chocolate, caramel, dark spice, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, anise core to black licorice, dark spice w/ palate heat, dry, crush rock, limestone powder, dry top soil, dry twig, liquid, dry herbaceous notes, fresh to withering; dark, red, slightly blue flowers framed in a field of violets & lavender, round, summer rainfall with a softly tensioned state, tall structure, well balanced, finely but deeply knitted & evenly polish finish that is nearly endless.
If you can have patience, Tapestry is one of the best Napa Cabernet for the money & this one has plenty of life ahead. 10 plus years.

Just stupendous for $20-$25 on release. Bought this 6-8 weeks ago on the secondary market for $49.
Happy Birthday Angela.

Approachable now, with some fruit to amuse, but not a fruit bomb. This is a here and now wine if you have it in your cellar!

We had the 2007 Vintage on 9/9-0/18. A terrific Napa Cab and this is their second label. Blackberry, kirsch, anise and cassis. Smooth finish to a full bodied wine.

Sep 10th, 2018We had the 2007 Vintage On 6/11/17. This is a fruit-forward California example of a Bordeaux blend. Blackberry, cassis, and currants exude from this full bodied wine. There is a smooth and long finish. The tannins were smoothed out after a decade in the bottle.
