2002 Blend "Tapestry Reserve" from Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes

The individual lots were hand-harvested. The wines went to a mix of barrels for malolactic fermentation and extended aging.

Classic black-ruby color typical of this blend. Ripe, brambly, coffee and black cherry aromas showcase the varietal, while black olive and dark cocoa scents suggest the wine’s Rutherford origin. Medium full-body and firm structure dominant, with the cherry-plum and herb Merlot adding nuance in the finish. Chewy tannins, fine minerality, with vanilla oak-spice adding an elegant touch of sweetness.

Lively and rich, this wine works perfectly with lamb, beef and rich stews.
