Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro emerges from a single block of the rockiest and reddest soils on the property. It is also quite a bit riper than the straight Tench Cabernet Sauvignon, with plenty of chocolate, menthol, licorice and blackberry jam character. It will be interesting to follow the development of the two Tench Cabernets in 2015.

Another gem from this site in Oakville is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro. It gives up complex notes of blackberry jam, tobacco leaf, violets, seaweed and crushed rock, and is stacked on the palate, with full-bodied richness and sweet tannin. It’s a beautifully complete, layered, balanced 2015 that does everything right. Drink it over the coming two decades.
Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro conjures notions of lavender, wild thyme, dusty earth and pencil shavings over a core of red and black currants plus a touch of charcuterie. Full-bodied, rich, ripe and oh-so-seductive, the palate features ripe, velvety tannins and fantastic freshness, lifting the incredibly long, fruity finish.
