Bevan Cellars Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (750ML)

98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "(Bevan Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard) From one of the top sites in the valley and all Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard isn't far off the Calixtro cuvée, yet it's more forward and opulent, with savory red and black fruits, notes of iron, dusty earth, leather, and baking spice, full-bodied richness and depth, and ripe yet building, substantial tannins. It offers some up-front charm today, but it’s going to reward 3-4 years of bottle age and should evolve for 25-30 years. This is another serious, age-worthy, incredible wine from Bevan that readers will absolutely love. (Drink between 2026-2057)" 06/23

97 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes barreling out of the glass with notes of crushed blackcurrants, black raspberries, and chocolate-covered cherries giving way to hints of charcoal, garrigue, and cast-iron pan. The full-bodied palate delivers a super taut backbone of ripe, firm tannins and lovely freshness to support the muscular black fruits, finishing long and minerally." 10/23

98-100 Points, Joe Czerwinski. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: " From a parcel along Silverado Trail that Bevan describes as "super rocky," the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard offers up a hugely complex, fruit-driven bouquet that blends purple raspberries, black cherries, red raspberries and cassis. It's full-bodied and richly concentrated, with a long, velvety finish." 05/23

96 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard is an exotic wine. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, sweet spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate are all dialed up in this opulent, dense Cabernet. Here, too, Russell Bevan has done a terrific job in taming the Tench tannins. Floral accents lift the finish effortlessly." 12/23
