This year "EE" carries the Tench Vineyard designate. They have taken a special block, 2A, which has an incredible red, rocky soil and the winemaker used it as the anchor. In a lineup of past vintages, this wine most resembles the 2008. It has amazing intensity without any hard edges. The Cabernet Sauvignon gives it a core of red and blue fruits, while the Franc provides backbone, and floral and tobacco aromatics.
