Aaron's 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.”

A perfect balance of Old world and new world styles are married in a extremely well balanced wine. Cabernet leads the dance in this Bordeaux style blend, providing aromas of blackberry and currant with hints of cedar and spice. Bramble blueberries, plum and cassis are luscious and balanced by medium tannins. The deep dark fruits, touched with floral notes, baking spice, leather and cedar. The finish seems to linger leaving dark chocolate on the palate. Not to sound cliche? But pair this wine with a porterhouse steak, reverse seared to a perfect medium rare, Garlic Mashers and a red wine reduction. (Please, just don’t use this for the sauce. It’s too good for that!)

A tight and deep wine with a beautiful center palate of currants, berries, lemon rind and silky tannins. Rich and opulent, yet fresh. Lightly chewy with a caressing texture. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 11% merlot with malbec, petit verdot and cabernet franc. Inner quote mark (2/2020)

The 2017 Reserve Tapestry Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. It was aged in French oak, 60% new, for 22 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with energetic fruity scents of crushed black plums, mulberries, redcurrants and blackberries plus suggestions of camphor, cinnamon stick and chocolate box. The full-bodied palate is rich and decadently fruited, offering up tons of black fruit preserves and spicy layers with a taut yet approachable frame, finishing with a minty kick. 22,275 cases were made.

This blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc is thick and leathery in style. It has full-bodied richness in flavors of dark chocolate and blackberry that work well alongside firm tannins and integrated oak.
