Tapiz is one of the most renowned and awarded Argentine wineries. Winemaker Fabian Valenzuela was joined by Jean Claude Berrouet in 2012. Jean Claude is the recently-retired winemaker of Petrus, having presided over 44 vintages at this revered Bordeaux winery. Tapiz is proud that Jean Claude chose to work with them exclusively in Argentina. To celebrate the addition of Jean Claude, Tapiz created a new "Alta Collection" line of wines. The "Alta Collection" fruit comes solely from Tapiz's sustainably-farmed estate San Pablo vineyard in the Uco Valley. San Pablo is one of the highest altitude vineyards in Mendoza (4,600 feet above sea level). This extreme altitude provides for warm days which impart concentration to the grapes, and cold nights which give natural acidity.
Fabian and Jean Claude work together to create a beautiful Tapiz (tapestry) between the wine's unfiltered fruit and its oak aging. These full-bodied yet elegant wines have the acidity and complexity to drink on their own or complement food. As Restaurant Wine exclaimed: "Tapiz is a very consistent producer of excellent wines."
Wine Makers Notes:
"...Fat, ripe and sweet in the mouth, with a sexy leesy complexity to the deep flavors of blackberry, mocha, chocolate, herbs and licorice. Creamy, mouth coating wine with substantial ripe tannins and lingering notes of cassis, licorice and herbs. Legendary Pomerol winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet, who made more than 40 vintages at Chateau Petrus, is now involved at Dominus and Tapiz. An extraordinary value."

James Suckling:
Score: 96 Points Release Price: $19.95 Country: Argentina Region: Mendoza Critical Acclaim · James Suckling - "A wine with lots of depth and fruit now with dark berry and dark chocolate character. Full body, velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. So much here. Give it four to five years bottle age. Great wine." · Notes From Luis Gutiérrez: The Wine Advocate · The Wine Advocate called the Tapiz Alta Cabernet 2014 "fresh and subtle, with perfectly integrated oak...gravitating towards elegance and finesse. Very good for what it is." A 96 Point Cabernet Sauvignon from the former winemaker of Petrus & Dominus, we say this is EXCELLENT for what it is! · |
