90 Point Beaulieu Vineyard Tapestry Reserve Red Wine // 2 Bottles

Beaulieu Vineyard
Established in 1900 by Georges de Latour and his wife Fernande in Rutherford, California, Beaulieu Vineyard takes its name from the French phrase "Quel beau lieu" meaning "What a beautiful place," which legend says Fernande uttered when she first saw the land. For over 120 years, Beaulieu Vineyard has set the standard for crafting California wines that stand among the world's finest, with the winemaking legacy remaining unbroken for more than a century. When André Tchelistcheff joined in 1938, he tasted the de Latour family's private wine from the 1936 vintage and insisted it be bottled and sold as the winery's flagship offering, leading to the 1940 release of the first Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, which became Napa Valley's first "cult" Cabernet. Established over a century ago, Beaulieu features over 1,100 acres of estate vineyards stretching across some of the best grape-growing sites in Napa Valley, combining time-honored traditions with innovative technologies to produce exceptional wines while respecting classic values and the art of craftsmanship.

2020 Beaulieu Vineyard Tapestry Reserve Red Wine, Napa Valley - 2 Bottles
90 Points, Wine Spectator
Our 2020 Tapestry Reserve is a perfumed and boisterous expression of this signature red blend, exhibiting the true artistry of blending five Bordeaux-heritage grape varieties grown within the Napa Valley. The seamless integration provides intriguing nuance, with complexity, structure, and balance. The Cabernet Sauvignon, true to its “sauvage” namesake contributes notes of wild bramble berry fruits, with hints of blackberry, Marionberry, black raspberry and dark plum, alongside notes of dark chocolate, mocha, violet and lavender. The Merlot adds juiciness and mouthwatering black plum and black cherry, with soft, round tannins, contributing to the velvety-rich texture and plush mouthfeel. Malbec adds freshness and brightness with notes of cassis and rhubarb, while the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot complete the blend with darker tones and savory spices alongside lifted nuances of subtle black licorice, espresso bean, nutmeg, and allspice.

Well integrated oak character enlivens the overall aromatic expression, adding richness and depth, with a pretty perfume that is musky and inviting. The generous texture is soft and smooth with rich tannins that support and carry the viscosity and weight of this elegant red blend. A classic demonstration of the very best of what old world techniques and new world winemaking can offer – wonderfully enjoyable in its youth with potential to age gracefully with additional bottle aging for the next 10-20 years.
