Bv Beaulieu Tapestry

Our 2014 tapestry reflects the 2014-growing season with its dense powerful aromas and flavors with bold structure. This is a wine that shows the artistry of blending five bordeaux-heritage grape varieties which contributed layer-upon-layer of flavor complexity. Cabernet sauvignon gave the wine its generous core of briary blackberry and cassis expression while we increased the amount of merlot this year to tame the tannins and add plush mid-palate texture. Malbec contributed deep plum notes while cabernet franc and petit verdot completed the blend with nuances of rose forest loam and graphite. James suckling – 94 points complex aromas of blackcurrants tobacco and stones. Some oyster shell. Medium to full body very fine tannins and a polished refined textured finish. A wine that harkens back to its traditions. – james suckling wine advocate – 90 points blended of 76% cabernet sauvignon and 13% merlot with dollops of petit verdot malbec and cabernet franc the 2014 reser
