Tasting Notes

Our 2020 Tapestry Reserve is a perfumed and boisterous expression of this signature red blend, exhibiting the true artistry of blending five Bordeaux-heritage grape varieties grown within the Napa Valley. The seamless integration provides intriguing nuance, with complexity, structure, and balance. The Cabernet Sauvignon, true to its “sauvage” namesake contributes notes of wild bramble berry fruits, with hints of blackberry, Marionberry, black raspberry and dark plum, alongside notes of dark chocolate, mocha, violet and lavender. The Merlot adds juiciness and mouthwatering black plum and black cherry, with soft, round tannins, contributing to the velvety-rich texture and plush mouthfeel. Malbec adds freshness and brightness with notes of cassis and rhubarb, while the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot complete the blend with darker tones and savory spices alongside lifted nuances of subtle black licorice, espresso bean, nutmeg, and allspice.  Well integrated oak character enlivens the overall aromatic expression, adding richness and depth, with a pretty perfume that is musky and inviting. The generous texture is soft and smooth with rich tannins that support and carry the viscosity and weight of this elegant red blend. A classic demonstration of the very best of what old world techniques and new world winemaking can offer – wonderfully enjoyable in its youth with potential to age gracefully with additional bottle aging for the next 10-20 years.

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

“Fruit-driven, with raspberry, açaí and blackberry notes all bouncing through, carried by brambly, slightly woodsy grip, though there's enough fruit to compensate for that. Reveals generous anise and sweet spices on the slightly heady finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030.”

      Vintage Notes
      The 2020 season was a warm, dry winter and the rain and cooler weather didn’t arrive until the end of March. While the mild spring season was a great early start, summer brought very cool mornings and very warm days. The white wine harvest started in late August, with the wines showing excellent development in the cellars, reflecting the fine vintage year. While the red wine harvest was smaller yielding, proving to be one of the most challenging in history, our winemakers remained optimistic and very complimentary of the high quality achieved from this unprecedented vintage. The resulting 2020 wines are of very high quality with concentrated flavors and excellent acidity, especially for varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon.
