Riverain Vineyards Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

95 pts - new!                                                           A fantastic new boutique Cabernet made by famed winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown. This single-vineyard, single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon is perfection! Limited. 95 Points Jeb Dunnuck:  "Coming from the Tench Vineyard in Oakville, the deep purple-hued 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rocking bouquet of sweet black fruits interwoven with lots of chocolate, iron, black olives and an almost marine-like nuance that always seems to be present in wines from this vineyard. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and textured, it has silky tannins and is a straight-up brilliant Cabernet. Drink it over the coming 15-20 years." With the help of friends, and with his winemaker being Thomas Brown (Pulido-Walker, Maybach, Outpost, and Schrader), the Riverain wines are fantastic. This bottling comes from the Tench Vineyard in eastern Oakville (bordering Screaming Eagle and Rudd). A tiny 325 cases produced.
