In the press
91/100 - The 2017 Reserve Tapestry Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It was aged in French oak, 60% new, for 22 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with energetic fruity scents of crushed black plums, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberries plus suggestions of camphor, cinnamon stick and chocolate box. The full-bodied palate is rich and decadently fruited, offering up tons of black fruit preserves and spicy layers with a taut yet approachable frame, finishing with a minty kick. Drink 2020-2034
Viticulture
We select top-quality vineyard blocks for Tapestry, ensuring terroir expression and approachable tannins. Half of Cabernet is from Rutherford AVA, the rest from Calistoga, Oakville, and Coombsville. Merlot from warm Carneros and Rutherford Bench, Petit Verdot and Malbec from Rutherford. Cabernet Franc from Howell Mountain yields small, concentrated berries.
Vinification
We customized winemaking for each varietal, emphasizing vintage and vineyard block traits. Optical sorting, cold soak, gentle pumpovers, and in-barrel malolactic fermentation enriched texture and complexity. 60% new French oak aging for 22 months added depth and freshness.
