The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard is an exotic wine. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, sweet spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate are all dialed up in this opulent, dense Cabernet. Here, too, Russell Bevan has done a terrific job in taming the Tench tannins. Floral accents lift the finish effortlessly.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes barreling out of the glass with notes of crushed blackcurrants, black raspberries, and chocolate-covered cherries giving way to hints of charcoal, garrigue, and cast-iron pan. The full-bodied palate delivers a super taut backbone of ripe, firm tannins and lovely freshness to support the muscular black fruits, finishing long and minerally.
Another structured, inward, yet incredibly impressive Cabernet Sauvignon in the vintage, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro offers a dense purple/plum color as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of chocolate covered black cherries, iron, baking spices, and sandalwood. Already complex, deep, massively concentrated, yet focused and tannic, with good acidity, this brilliantly layered, insanely good 2021 needs to be forgotten for 4-6 years and will evolve for two to three decades in cold cellars.
