1 person found it helpfulNov 16th, 2012FRIDAY!!!!! 2008 BV Tapestry Reserve Napa Valley, Cab.Sauv. - Merlot - Cab. Franc - Malbec - Petit Verdot. Very good dark fruit on the nose and oak. To taste is good black raspberries, ripe plum, cassis, licorice, with hints of oak and the tannins are pronounced but not over bearing. Could use a few more years in the cellar.

Jan 15th, 2018Surprisingly not bad. Not showing much age in terms of color. Still has some nice tannins. Excellent for ravioli and Seinfeld.

Aug 18th, 2016Very drinkable, balanced Cab dominant. A little tight out of the bottle but opening up over the evening.

May 10th, 2016Great value...happy with how this has cellared. Good fruit, a bit of earthiness & structure not commonly found in many other '08 Napa cab Sauv based wines. Not too complex but still delicious.
