2015 OAKVILLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON,
TENCH VINEYARD
TRB thinks the 2015 Tench Cabernet is the best Riverain Vintage ever produced! The 2015 Cabernet covers the entire fruit spectrum, but leans more towards a purple and black opulence. There is a minerality/rock underpinning which does not always show this early on in a great wine, creating an approachability that contradicts the muscle and structure that is lurking in the finish. Eastern Oakville always brings the acid to keep everything well-balanced.
