Review
The 2018 EE red wine shows the vineyard’s complexity and depth. Where the Cabernet Sauvignon is about power and persistence, the EE mesmerizes and seduces you. The Cabernet in EE comes from Block 2A on the Tench Vineyard, which is made up of beautifully homogenized red soil producing finesse and more refined textures. When combined with Cabernet Franc and a kiss of Petit Verdot, you get a wine that has complexity and a breadth of flavours and aromatics of fruit as well as ripe tobacco, violets, and cedar. Characterized by its complexity and harmony, the 2018 EE is magic.
