| Vintage: | 1998 |
| Varietal: | Red Blend |
| Appellation: | Napa Valley |
| Alcohol %: | 13.5 |
| Tasting Notes: | Dark ruby in color, the 1998 Tapestrys aromas evoke scents of black cherry, herbs, vanilla-oak and some black pepper. Medium-full bodied, the wine?s fruit flavors are at the forefront; cherry and blackcurrant, followed by nuances of licorice, dark chocolate and peppercorn. Fleshy, yet backed by firm, ripe tannins, the finish shows some torrefaction notes from the oak now, but should evolve gracefully with 4-7 years in the bottle. |
| Ratings: | Dark and dramatically scented, with a perfume of superbly ripe cassis and plush, smoky oak, it's a pleasure to inhale. In the mouth, it drinks round and supple, with a real flair. The tannins are exquisite, the acidity soft but supportive. Wine Enthusiast - January 2002 |
