Beaulieu Vineyard Bv Tapestry Reserve 2008, Napa Valley
Critic Reviews (3)
Things are apparently doing well at a revitalized Beaulieu, an historic Rutherford property that fell on hard times...
Classy, elegant, well-balanced and succulent, this is a fine and highly enjoyable wine from Napa stalwart Beaulieu...
An elegant and masterful blend unmasked and unblinded by oak. There is rusticity, antiquity and servitude to history....

The benefit of blending and great winemaking is in full display here, starting with great aromatics, this wine opened up with aromas of plumy-black cherry fruit, cassis, cedar, pepper and light liquorice. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied, rich ripe California fruit flavours with gentle oak spices, vanilla, fine acidity and silky smooth tannins. Great length, energy and flavours on the finish. What you get from Beaulieu Vineyard Tapestry Reserve 2008 is a very elegant wine, finely textured and very fragrant. Drinking well right now or hold 2-3 years, gorgeous wine.
