Medium body mix that seems to lack the complexity of a well-made mixture. Good structure and balance. Beautiful dark fruit with a little blackcurrant and spice box, which develops on the coarseness of several hours. A good effort overall, but not certain that it has a potential for aging north of ten years. What makes the mixture of five Bordeaux heritage grape varieties? The 2014 Reserve Tapestry Red Blend at Beaulieu Vineyard. With Cabernet Sauvignon which offers a generous blackcurrant, dark cherry and blackcurrant; Merlot for its bright and fruity personality and Malbec for its notes of plums and nascent blackberries. Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot complete this expressive blend with subtleties based on purple and dried herbs. . Beaulieu Vineyard is available at Lawry`s The Prime Rib, Morton`s The Steakhouse, Southbridge Hotel Whiskey Bar and online at Cellar. .
