Bid on this bottle of 2014 Bevan "Tench Vineyard EE" Oakville Bordeaux Blend (100RP, 92VN, 92WS). Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Absolutely perfect is the incredible blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Cabernet Franc – the 2014 Proprietary Red EE. Only 220 cases were made of this wine that was aged in equal parts Taransaud and Darnajou. It has a compelling fragrance of spring flowers, blackberry and cassis, graphite, licorice and truffle. The wine has incredible length, density, full body and superb finish of close to 50+ seconds. It is a big, super-complex wine already, and should continue to offer off-the-charts drinking pleasure for another 15 or more years. (RP)" (10/2016)

The 2014 Red Wine EE Tench Vineyard is surprisingly seamless and open-knit for such a young wine. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, licorice, mocha and chocolate fill out the wine's supple, inviting frame effortlessly. Best of all, the 2014 will drink well with minimal cellaring. (AG)

Oak plays a prominent role, imparting a smoky, cedary, charry edge to the core of dark berry, currant and licorice. Tannins are firm and grainy, with the appropriate weight. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2019 through 2031. (JL)
