Tasting notes
Slightly better, the 2019 Tapestry Reserve (which was first made in 1990) offers lots of red and blue fruits as well as notes of tobacco and dried herbs. It's more focused, concentrated, and structured than the Napa Valley Cabernet and, I suspect, will evolve for 10-15 years.

The 2019 Red Wine Tapestry Reserve is bold and explosive to the core. A burst of dark red cherry/plum fruit, spice, menthol, licorice and pomegranate give this Cabernet Sauvignon/Malbec -based blend plenty of exuberance.
A true Bordeaux-inspired blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec, 13% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Tapestry Reserve Red Wine is overtly fruity up front, with bold raspberry notes dominating the nose. Yet on the medium to full-bodied palate, those notes are tempered by silky tannins and bright acids that give it a taut, juicy feel and a mouthwatering finish.
About the producer
Beaulieu Vineyard remains one of the most historically important wineries in Napa Valley. It is it one of the longest continuous running wineries in the region, as one of the few that kept operating throughout Prohibition.
