Full-bodied, at points rustic and chewy, yet also elegant and refined, ending with earthy graphite-tinged tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

Wine Advocate # 192 Dec 2010 Robert Parker 91 Drink: 2012 - 2032 $30-$55 (50) The 2007 Reserve Tapestry, a proprietary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, reveals gracious, reserved notes of blue, red and black fruits, licorice, underbrush, forest floor and background oak. The wine is medium to full-bodied, elegant and still young and reserved. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age and drink it over the following 15-20. Despite being owned by a huge international corporation, BV appears to be returning to the glorious form it exhibited in the fifties, sixties and early seventies. That was noticeable with several of the wines I reviewed last year.
