REVIEW
From a site just beside Screaming Eagle, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard sports a dense purple/plum color to go with classic Tench notes of red and black currants, Asian spices, iron, sandalwood, and Christmas spice. These carry to a full-bodied Cabernet with plenty of mid-palate richness, lots of spicy nuances, building tannins, and a great, great finish. A sweetly fruited, sexy 2018. it has plenty of up-front appeal yet more than enough structure to evolve for 25+ years.
