This is a classic cab: ripe, fruit forward and opulent. But it’s also balanced. We wanted create a wine that exemplified the boldness of Cabernet Sauvignon but also embraced its inherent texture and richness... a hugely concentrated wine that doesn’t rely solely on peel-your-teeth tannin for its structure. To achieve that, we really focus on maintaining tension throughout the winemaking process, continually topping and re-racking to keep as much youthful fruit as possible. Tenor Cabernet is thick and rich and unapologetically showy. That heavy mouthfeel is supported by superfine tannin, and we work hard to achieve that intense texture without letting the tannin overwhelm the other notes. As a result, the wine maintains it fruit integrity and freshness it ages, which really allows the complexity of flavors—currants, cassis, spice and plums—to show through.
