Winemaker’s Notes
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.
Critic Ratings
Wine Enthusiast Review – Rated 92:
Bramble and woodsy freshness dance with aromatics of resinous herbs, carrying into flavors of ripe black fruits and layers of spices. Hints of cocoa and a touch of vanilla emerge with further sipping, hinting at a mix of warm summer pastries of rhubarb, strawberry and a touch of marzipan. Powdery fine and richly layered tannins carry into a long finish.
Wine Spectator Review – Rated 91:
There’s a lively feel to the mix of plum, boysenberry and black cherry preserve flavors, while a swath of bramble underscores the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot. Drink now through 2034.
James Suckling Review – Rated 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.
Jeb Dunnuck Review – Rated 93:
A cuv e 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!
