Brand: Beaulieu Vineyard (BV)
Wine: Tapestry Reserve
Region: Napa Valley, California
Style: Cabernet Sauvignon–based Bordeaux-style Red Blend
One important correction for your inventory: Tapestry is not technically a straight Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s a Cabernet-led blend that also incorporates classic Bordeaux varieties such as Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot.
Description:
A sophisticated Napa Valley red blend built around Cabernet Sauvignon, showing rich blackberry, black currant and dark plum with layers of cedar, cocoa, graphite, herbs, vanilla and warm spice. Fine, structured tannins give the wine depth and a long, polished finish. It offers the richness of Napa Cabernet with additional complexity from the other Bordeaux varieties in the blend.
Pairing Recommendation:
Excellent with Prime Ribeye, NY Strip, beef tenderloin, braised short ribs, rack of lamb or aged cheeses. For Midtown Provisions, I’d pair this with a Prime Ribeye—the marbling works beautifully with Tapestry’s Cabernet-driven structure and rich dark fruit.
Rating: The rating depends on the vintage. For example, the 2021 Tapestry Reserve received 96 points from James Suckling, 93 from Jeb Dunnuck, 92 from Wine Enthusiast, and 91 from Wine Spectator.
Serve: Around 60–65°F and give it approximately 30–60 minutes to breathe.
