Our 2022 Tapestry Reserve presents a bold and expressive Bordeaux-style red blend, marked by its deep, intense character and elevated structure. Layers of dark fruit—blackberry, plum, and cassis—form the core of the palate, framed by heady aromatics and a generous use of new oak that imparts subtle notes of warm baking spices, toast, and a touch of nuttiness. The inclusion of more Malbec and Petit Verdot in this vintage adds both color intensity and a structural backbone, enhancing the wine’s age-worthiness while lending a more serious, focused profile. There's a distinct lift of acidity that keeps the wine vibrant and food-friendly, balancing the rich fruit and powerful tannins.  Underlying it all is a clear sense of place, with an unmistakable earthy depth of Rutherford dust intertwined with the tension and energy of mountain fruit. The result is a dry, full-bodied red with compelling spice, polished structure, and a long, energetic finish.  This Bordeaux blend pairs beautifully with hearty, flavorful dishes like grilled ribeye steaks, roast leg of lamb, braised short ribs, and Porcini mushroom risotto. 

94 pts
“So structured, spicy and full, with generous fruit flavors and energizing tannins. It's a Bordeaux-style red blend that in this vintage contains ample amounts of malbec and petit verdot that provide extra structural spine and a nutty, toasty character. It lead with 65% cabernet sauvignon and also has lesser amounts of merlot and cabernet franc. Aged in 60% new French oak. Drink now or hold.” Named #96 in JamesSuckling.com Top 100 Wines of the USA 2025.

Winemaking

We tailored the winemaking for each varietal to best capture the personality of both the vintage and specific vineyard blocks. Optical sorting, cold soaking and gentle pumpovers along with in-barrel malolactic fermentation all contributed to this wine’s richly textured and complex flavors. Aging in roughly 60% new French oak barrels for 20 months complimented the wine’s impressive depth and freshness.

Vintage

The winter of 2022 was characterized by warmth and dryness, with the arrival of rain and cooler weather only occurring towards the end of March. The mild spring allowed for a promising early beginning, while the summer surprised us with cool mornings and warmer afternoons. As a result, the harvest produced smaller berries concentrated in flavors and remarkable acidity, resulting in wines of balance and excellence.

Vineyard

Since its inception in 1990, our Tapestry Reserve has always been a tribute to our French heritage and a nod to the classic Bordeaux blends and Clarets that are world-renowned. We always source from a selection of specific vineyard blocks of top-quality grapes that give Tapestry the combined attributes of terroir expression and a round, approachable tannin structure. Roughly half of the Cabernet Sauvignon was grown on the famous western benchland of the Rutherford American Viticultural Area (AVA) and the balance from the Calistoga, Howell Mountain and St Helena AVAs. The Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec are sourced exclusively from our estate vineyards in Calistoga, Knights Valley, Rutherford and Yountville. The Cabernet Franc lends complexity, depth and intrigue, coming from Howell Mountain.
