Beaulieu Vineyard
Reserve Tapestry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep roots of Beaulieu were first planted back in 1900, when founder Georges de Latour noticed similarities with his native Bordeaux and declared the Napa Valley ideal for winemaking. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 3% each Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Purple with aromas of sweet dark fruits and earthy tones. On the palate blackberry and currants on full ripe tannins giving way to a lingering finish ending with earthy mineral.

An old favorite/standby. Opening up before dinner, robust cherry flavor, deep purple color, already a nice soft finish. Should pair well with beef filets and bring out some spice and minerals.

Not as complex (duh) as the George PR. OK for what I paid but not worth the retail cost.
