Tasting Notes
2021 produced some of the best fruit in recent years. Early rain, then almost no notable precipitation for the rest of the season, provided an ideal environment. The summer saw early and even ripening. Low yields created small berries with intense flavor. Harvest began early at the end of August. With optimal ripening, our winemakers could take their time bringing in the grapes. The wine has fantastic character with aromatic intensity and tremendous balance and structure that are equally lush and fruity. A tremendous year to experience the nuances and terroir distinction from around the valley.Technical Information

Scores & Accolades

96“A layered and lightly chewy red with currant, orange peel and hints of hazelnut. Fine tannins. Some pine, cedar, graphite, black currant and iodine. Perfumed. Tannins turn fine and bright. Excellent length and serious tension. One of the best I have had. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 15% petit verdot, 11% cabernet franc, 9% malbec and 5% merlot. Drinkable but will age nicely. Best in two or three years.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

93“A cuvee that was first made in 1990, the 2021 Tapestry Reserve is another large production release that brings the goods. More black fruits, chocolate, licorice, and dusty earth notes define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Bravo to the team at Beaulieu for delivering this level of quality at this production level.” — Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com

91“The 2021 Red Wine Tapestry Reserve is a tasty Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. Succulent dark red plum, mocha, licorice, spice and new leather are front and center. Soft, silky contours wrap it all together, adding to a sense of immediacy that is impossible to miss.” — Antonio Galloni, Vinous
