Riverain 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve “Tench Vineyard” Napa Valley 99 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 99 Points: “First made in 2017 (I wasn’t able to taste that vintage) and a barrel selection from the Tench Vineyard, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Reserve has a similar style to the single vineyard yet has more of everything, with incredible black and blue fruits intermixed with scorched earth, cedar pencil, espresso, and iron-like aromas and flavors. The full-bodied palate is a clear step up, with an incredibly pure, seamless texture, a dense mid-palate, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. This is a heavenly bottle of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that will probably merit a triple-digit score in 4-5 years and evolve for 20-30 years. Wow.”
