Beaulieu Vineyard Tapestry Reserve Red Wine
ボーリュー・ヴィンヤード タペストリー リザーヴ レッド・ブレンド
Beaulieu Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon · Merlot · Malbec · Cabernet Franc · Petit Verdot
About this wine
Introduced into BV's portfolio in the late 1980s, Tapestry Reserve is a tribute to Beaulieu's French heritage — a Bordeaux-style blend that weaves five varieties into one wine. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the core, with Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot adding layers of dark cherry, wild raspberry, spice, and floral complexity.
A plush, fruit-forward Bordeaux-style blend that's more approachable than the estate's single-varietal Cabernets.
Sommelier's Note
"BV's tribute to its French heritage — a five-variety Bordeaux blend woven together with the precision its name implies."

Grilled ribeye steak, braised short ribs, herb-crusted lamb rack, aged Gouda or Gruyère, prime rib, rich pasta dishes, and dark chocolate desserts.

Aged approximately 20-22 months in a mix of French, American, and Hungarian oak (majority new). ABV typically 14.8-14.9%.
