"From the rockiest parts of the vineyard right along the road, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard offers that classic Tench iron and marine hints as well as fabulous crème de cassis, nori, ground herbs, graphite, and crushed rocks. Deep, powerful and structured, yet with polished tannins, it's another beautiful, deep, textured wine from this estate."
