Tasting Note
The 2016 Tapestry is a powerful expression of the dream vintage, showing the true artistry of blending five Bordeaux-heritage grape varieties grown within the Napa Valley, which together contribute multi-layered flavors and complexity. The Cabernet Sauvignon imparts a generous core of brambly blackberry, cassis, and macerated blueberry, while the Merlot brings a vibrant, riper dark cherry fruit character. The Merlot also softens the tannins and adds plush rich texture on the mouth pleasing palate. Malbec contributed dark plum and briary blackberry notes, while the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot completed the blend with delicate floral nuances of violet and wild sage. Well integrated warm baking spice notes of cinnamon and clove also pique the senses incorporated from having been aged in new French oak barrels – which heighten the overall aromatic expression and linger on the finish. The tannins provide intensity, structure and depth, ensuring this vintage will outlast many others with significant age-worthiness. This is a wine that is the perfect bridge between old and new world – showing the restraint, elegance and sophistication of Napa Valley.

Beaulieu Vineyard
For more than 100 years, Beaulieu Vineyard has set the benchmark for rich, classic Napa Valley wines. We honor our exceptional fruit with meticulous winemaking processes that reveal the distinctive varietal personality of the grapes. Russian-born Tchelistcheff studied viticulture and enology at the Institut Pasteur and the Institut National Agronomique in France. Often called "the Maestro", André Tchelistcheff is widely considered the most profoundly influential winemaker in Napa Valley history. From the moment of his arrival in Napa in 1938, he shaped and guided the philosophy of innovation and terroir expression in wine making. A philosophy that continues to define the wines of Beaulieu Vineyard today.

At Beaulieu Vineyard, Trevor presides as only the fifth chief winemaker in the winery’s 120-year history, following esteemed previous chief winemaker Jeffrey Stambor. Respectful of and humbled by Beaulieu Vineyard’s storied history, Trevor joins the winemaking team keenly aware of his role shaping the winery’s future.
“While Beaulieu’s legacy honors the marriage between innovative technology and gentle, traditional winemaking methods, we’re entering a new chapter. It is an exciting and pivotal time. We have invested significantly in recent years to improve the quality of our visitor’s center, winery, and the reserve cellar, bringing in state-of-the-art tools to help us craft wines of the highest caliber. We are striving every day to raise the bar for ourselves as winemakers.”
