Description

Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot
Vintage production: 668 cases

The Tench Vineyard surrounds the winery in eastern Oakville at a sweet spot where the valley floor and foothills of the Vaca Mountains collide to form some of the most complex, prized soils in Napa. Sharing a fence line with Screaming Eagle, and counting the like of Dalla Valle Vineyards and BOND’s St. Eden Vineyard as neighbours, Tench has produced an unstoppable string of high scoring wines at the hands of Russell.
 
For the Tench Vineyard EE Red Wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend comes from a block which brings more blue and black fruits. The addition of Cabernet Franc adds intensity and structure, and the concentration achieved is phenomenal.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 100

The 2015 Proprietary Red EE Tench Vineyard is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it soars from the glass with a whole firework display of exotic spices, potpourri and sandalwood scents over a core of redcurrant jelly, preserved plums, crème de cassis and kirsch with wafts of pencil shavings and crushed rocks. The opulent, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with black and red berry preserves, framed by an exquisitely plush texture and fantastic tension, finishing with epically long-lasting Chinese five spice layers and fragrant incense whispers. 668 cases were made.

Jeb Dunnuck 100

Pure perfection is the 2015 Tench Vineyard EE and it’s a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot brought up all in French oak. This tour de force boasts phenomenal notes of spring flowers, violets, plums, blueberries, black cherries, and incense. Full-bodied, seamless, perfectly balanced and layered, hats off to Bevan for this crazy good Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. [29/12/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038

    2019 FUTO, OV|SL Estate Red Wine, Napa Valley 6x75cl

    JD97JS99
    Blend: 55% cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 16% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot Vintage production: 860 cases For the OV|SL Estate Red, winemaker Jason Exposto is given carte blanche to pick any... vines, parcels, or barrels from across the Estate's two vineyards in Oakville (OV) and Stags Leap District (SL) to create a dream blend that showcases FUTO in its entirety. While the individual cuvées focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, OV|SL is a leader in the modern ‘Napa Blend’ of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, placing it alongside huge names like Bevan Cellars EE Red Wine, and Dalla Valle Maya. It more than competes with these and its other peers, and 99 points from Suckling leaves it snapping at the heels of its stable mates… Four Corners Wine “Standing tall among Napa’s great Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc Blend, the OV|SL 2019 transcends instantly to best ever vintage of the remarkable wine. There’s so much concentration on the nose, with its core of black volcanic rock, charcoal smoke, a beautiful clarity of fruit, and a sense of total focus and harmony. On the palate, it is impeccable – a brilliant, brilliant wine with layers of crisp energy, minerality, lots of gorgeous fruit and so many layers. It’s rich and intense while be so light on its feet. With fantastic density and flecks of high-toned vibrancy throughout, there are few Cab-blends in the Valley to compete with this.” (Sept. 2023)
