Tasting notes
Coming from a great vineyard in Oakville, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard boasts a dense purple hue as well as a blockbuster bouquet of blueberries, plums, graphite, toasted spices, and a marine, shrimp broth, iron-like character that’s one of the hallmarks of the site. Full-bodied and structured on the palate, it’s going to deliver the goods over the coming 15+ years.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color, exploding with crème de cassis, blackberry pie and fruitcake notes, plus hints of Chinese five spice and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich and plush in the mouth, the generous, spicy black fruits fan out long and layered on the finish.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard is a big, full-throttle Oakville Cabernet built on richness and impact, both of which it has in spades. Blackberry jam, spice, new leather and licorice infuse the 2019 with notable depth. The 2019 is not exactly subtle, but it has a lot to offer.
