Tasting Note

The 2018 Tapestry offers a beautiful rusticity in this elegant expression of this tremendous vintage, showing the true artistry of blending five Bordeaux-heritage grape varieties grown within the Napa Valley, which together contribute multi-layered flavours and complexity. The Cabernet Sauvignon imparts a generous core of blackberries, blueberries, black cherry compote, cassis, and hints of anise while the Merlot brings vibrant, riper notes of plum and dark cherry. The Merlot also softens the tannins and adds a plush texture on the palate. Malbec contributes fresh wild raspberry notes, while the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot complete the blend with darker berry fruits, savoury and delicate floral nuances of violet and wild sage. Aging in new French oak barrels adds well-integrated notes of mocha and molasses, heightens the overall aromatic expression, and lengthens the finish. The firm, velvety tannins provide structure and depth, ensuring this wine will live up to its age- worthiness. This is a perfect bridge between old and new world—showing the restraint, elegance, and sophistication of Napa Valley and highlighting the 2018 growing season.
