About Tench Vineyards
Tench Vineyards is the personal estate of the Tench family — their English-heritage surname on an Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon program that sources from the Oakville Bench, one of Napa Valley's most consistently celebrated Cabernet growing zones. The Tench family's estate vineyard on the Oakville Bench alluvial fan produces Cabernet Sauvignon with the site character that made Oakville famous in the 1976 Paris Tasting generation: the combination of well-drained alluvial soils, abundant sunshine, and the moderate temperatures that the flanking Mayacamas and Vaca mountain ranges create.
Wine Advocate has scored Tench Vineyards' Oakville Cabernet at 93–97 points.
