Bevan Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro 2018

Bevan Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro 2018

Bevan Cellars makes this wine by picking and fermenting the grapes from a small parcel at Tench that is a little over an acre (1B South to be specific), some of the reddest dirt on the property. This block gives super-pure flavors and ripens at its own rate. The rootstock and clones are identical, the vineyard was prepared the same way. There is no obvious or not-so-obvious reason that they can find, it just has its own unique quality that is so special they like to bottle it by itself. The best way to describe it is that this wine has incredible energy to it. It has the same power that the other Tench wines have, it just has a more energetic and lively personality.

Critical Acclaim

100 Jeb Dunnuck

"Pure perfection, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro is a vineyard selection from a great site just beside the winery, on the east side of Oakville. Offering a decadent, full-bodied, concentrated style as well as lots of red and blue fruits, spring flowers, spice, and an almost bloody, iron-like character, it’s a heavenly Cabernet that delivers both intellectual and hedonistic pleasure in spades. It already offers pleasure yet should keep for 20+ years."

99 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro was aged for 19 months in French oak barrels, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it's a little closed at this youthful stage, revealing glimpses of warm cassis, boysenberries and plum preserves scents with hints of charcoal, espresso, tapenade and violets. Full-bodied and rich, with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, it finishes very long and minerally. Only 109 cases were produced. Those lucky enough to secure a few bottles will want to put them away for at least 4-5 years and drink them over the next 25+ years.
