2023 Riverain Reserve Tench, Oakville (Arrives 4/26)

100 Jeb Dunnuck

A tiny selection of top barrels from this site, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard Reserve shows incredible cassis, graphite, crushed stone, iron, and Asian spices among its nuances, and this absolutely magical effort is full-bodied on the palate, with a deep, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great, great finish. It's pure gold in world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Hide bottles for 4-5 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following two decades. There are 279 cases produced. Drink 2029-2049.
