Critic tasting note: "This blend of all five Bordeaux varieties is consistently one of Beaulieu's most interesting but overlooked wines. The '04 is certainly a lovely, polished wine right now, with lush black currant, cherry and smoky oak flavors and a lingering finish." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast

Beaulieu Vineyard is a historically significant winery in California's Rutherford AVA that has been producing wine for more than a century. During Prohibition, it managed to obtain a contract to supply sacramental wine to churc...

- Region or Appellation
- Producer Notes
- This is a wine that shows the artistry of blending five Bordeaux-heritage grape varieties, which contributed layer-upon-layer of flavor complexity. Cabernet Sauvignon gave the wine its generous core of briary blackberry and cassis expression, while we increased the amount of Merlot this year to tame the tannins and add plush mid-palate texture. Malbec contributed deep plum notes, while Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot completed the blend with nuances of rose, forest loam and graphite.

- Vineyard Notes
-
We chose specific blocks of top-quality grapes that give Tapestry the combined attributes of terroir expression and a round, approachable tannin structure. Roughly half of the Cabernet Sauvignon was grown on the famous western benchland of the Rutherford American Viticultural Area (AVA) and the balance from the Calistoga, Oakville, and Coombsville AVAs. The Merlot comes from our vineyards in the warmer parts of Carneros and the Rutherford Bench, while the Petit Verdot and Malbec are sourced exclusively from our estate vineyards in Rutherford. The Cabernet Franc is grown on Howell Mountain where berries are small, concentrated and extremely expressive.

- Winemaking
-
We tailored the winemaking for each varietal to best capture the personality of both the vintage and specific vineyard blocks. Optical sorting, cold soaking and gentle pumpovers along with in-barrel malolactic fermentation all contributed to this wine’s richly textured and complex flavors.

- Ageing
-
Aging in roughly 60% new French oak barrels for 22 months complimented the wine’s impressive depth and freshness.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep
The 2004 vintage for California was generally good.
The growing season began with a warm spring which was, at times, hot which rapidly boosted vine growth and both budburst and flowering were early. However, after the initial flush of heat, temperatures cooled...
