Dark black-ruby color. Generous ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum aromas, with subtle vanilla-oak and anise scents and overtones of coffee. Medium full-bodied on the palate, with melted tannins, a velvety texture, hints of vanilla, and ripe sweet black plum, cherry and currant flavors. Enjoy this Tapestry with everything from grilled lamb to dry-rubbed baked salmon.

Nearly opaque black-ruby color with purple highlights. The aromas show strength of black fruits, licorice, black pepper and minerals, with Rutherford accents of black olive, peppercorn and dark cherry. Full-bodied in texture, with pronounced, dense and concentrated flavors of black currant, mineral, anise sweet vanilla and distinctive minerality. The rich tannins are balanced by medium acidity providing freshness.

The rich tannins are balanced by medium acidity providing freshness. Deeply characterful, this vintage will require 7-9 years aging to reach maturity, yet tastes fine now; an excellent example of the vintage.
