"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard The Calixtro comes from Block 1B of the Tench Vineyard, which is the transition between the rockier parts of the vineyard and the deeper, redder, iron-laced soils. Brought up all in new French oak, it has a dense, backward, yet pure and incredibly promising profile that carries loads of currants, creme de cassis, white flowers, iron, and lead pencil. It's powerful, uber-full-bodied, meaty, and just loaded with fruit."

A prestigious Napa sub-AVA on the valley floor, home to iconic estates and celebrated for richly textured, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon.
2017 in Napa Valley saw a wet winter, a scorching Labor Day heat spike and October wildfires; Cabernet picked before the fires is ripe and generous, but quality is variable across this challenging vintage.
