BV Tapestry Reserve 2008 Napa Valley
Tapestry Reserve was created so that Beaulieu Vineyards, with their prime Napa Estate vineyard land could produce a world class Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend. The winemaking team now consists of Jeffrey Stambor with Consulting Enologist Michel Rolland and they have been making amazing strides. This bold 2008 come on the heels of a phenomenal 2007 which received wide acclaim. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. The wine is aged in 50% new oak barrels; 73% French, 27% American. The Wine Spectator scored it 91 points saying "Blends ripe, fleshy plum and black cherry flavors with a subtle backbone of acidity and tannins. Slow to unfold, but does so gracefully, revealing dusty earth, cedar and black licorice in an elegant style. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2018." Grab it now while it's On Sale!

      Comments about BV Tapestry Reserve 2008 Napa Valley:

      This is one of the best Red's on the market and at our local Wine Warehouse this was double the price. They told me I could buy it for the price I said for the same year. Well I have a case to prove it!

      Service and delivery comments:

      Perfect! I love the service and the freight cost!

        Comments about BV Tapestry Reserve 2008 Napa Valley:

        This is a big, full bodied red that I could have mistaken for a Sonoma Cabernet. The initial impression was that it was somewhat medicinal. After opening up, the Meritage character comes through.

            I had read many reviews of BV Tapestry. I finally decided to try it. My wife, who has a very discerning palate, was greatly impressed. She immediately said, "This one's a keeper." I agree! Balanced, smooth and a long finish.

              This yummy wine could certainly be shared with friends over dinner, but when we have it, we drink it as our everyday wine at home. We love big cabs, and this one fits the bill beautifully. This is our 'go to' wine and it's always a sad day when we run out of 'our' Tapestry!

                  This wine is drinking great right now or you can hold it for a few years. Dark berries, hints of oak and licorice a very well balanced wine with soft tannins.

                          2008 was a shade more uneven than 2007 for Napa Cabs but overall a very good vintage.

                      • Q:

                        What are the WE and Wine Spectator ratings. And, is it driunkable now -- or, how long should it be cellared? Thanks, Elliott Goldberg

                          A:

                          This wine has actually not been rated as of yet, but the 2007 received 93 from WS and 92 from WE... so we are expecting some good things! The nice part about the Tapestry is that it can be enjoyed now if you like your wines big and fruit forward, but will gain structure and complexity over the next 5-10 years.

                          This wine is drinkable now if you decant it and let it breathe. You can cellar it for 4-8 years.

                          The wine is drinkable now. Should be able to cellar for about 6yrs before it peaks out. Not sure I would wait that long! Good wine now, will be even better in about two years.

                          This is very drinkable now and if stored correctly should last another 10 years or more.
