About this winery

In 1900, when Georges de Latour's wife, Fernande, first laid eyes on the land that would become their original Rutherford vineyard, she named it "beau lieu," or "beautiful place." Shortly thereafter, de Latour sold his thriving cream of tartar business, bought the four-acre ranch and founded Beaulieu Vineyard with the vision of making Napa Valley wines that would rival those of his native France.

Product notes

Tapestry is our love letter to Paso Robles, a graceful and surprising wine that exceeds the sum of its parts. Crafted by the winemaking team behind Napa Valley’s legendary Beaulieu Vineyard, this inspired blend weaves together red varietals in an artful expression of this intriguing terroir.

Production notes

Using a modern approach, the grapes were crushed and fermented an average of seven to ten days in stainless steel tanks. Pump-overs were gently performed three times a day to extract optimum color and tannin. Secondary, in-tank fermentation allowed the acid profile of the wine to soften while maintaining freshness. A rigorous series of blending sessions determined which lots would be selected to craft the final wine. The final blend aged with 50% new American oak for added aromatic and textural complexity.

Tasting notes

Vibrant and alluring, pronounced dark berry aromas lead to layers of ripe blackberry, crushed blueberry, and bright cassis flavors, supported by subtle notes of wild sage and lavender. This full-bodied red is smooth and rich with mouth-coating tannins that provide a supple texture with structure and balance.
