TASTING NOTES:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard is a stunning example of eastern Oakville Cabernet. It’s loaded with scents of cassis and red plum and tinged with faint hints of thyme and sage, and it’s full-bodied, rich and relatively open-knit. Ripe, plush and layered, gently framed by cedar and vanilla, it’s lovely stuff that should drink well for up to two decades.

I loved the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard. This beauty is a great representation of this terroir, with mineral-drenched aromas and flavors of blueberries, iron, chocolate, graphite, and candied violets. Deep, rich, and full-bodied, it’s another monster of a wine from Bevan that stays beautifully balanced and seamless.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The incredibly rocky soils of the Tench block this wine comes from, consistently develops incredible, intense flavors: acidity on the tip of your tongue, weight that pushes from start to finish, blackberry and currant fruit, with great texture and finesse. A massive wine that maintains a sense of grace and elegance.
