Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Category:

Cabernet Sauvignon from Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley, California

Winermaker Notes

Deep purple, ruby in color, the wine has fruit-driven aromas of plum, cherry, and a hint of bay leaf. The palate is rich and concentrated with flavors of red fruits, baking spice, and vanilla. Our Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to be enjoyed with your next meal or to rest in your cellar for future enjoyment.

Decanter – 97 Points

One of the compelling reasons for the ‘nesting’ of Napa’s AVAs is to prove just how different the Valley’s sub-districts can be, something that this wine from Oak Knoll makes admirably clear. The wine is a dark opaque black, but its soft, respiring resins and calmly ordered fruits alert the drinker from the aromatic profile alone that the wine has nothing monstrous or disproportionate about it. It’s ripe but supple and graceful, with as much juicy acidity as textured tannins: drinkable, accessible and fresh. The Napa hallmark of opulence is there in the succulent grain of the fruit, but in every other respect this is deft, finely judged midweight.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with herbed Parisian gnocchi with fennel sausage and stewed tomato.
