Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 SALE $43.99 WINERY $60 93pts James Suckling - "The 2013 Trefethen Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the brightest stars from one of the Napa Valley's best vintages in recent years. Beautiful from start to finish, the wine's impressive nose-bold black fruits, lively black currants, sweet oak-scripts a scene of delight. Serve with a Porterhouse steak topped with blue cheese. Starting to drink nicely." 92pts Tasting Pane - Vibrant and deep ruby color. The very attractive nose has aromas of fresh blackberry, red currant and dried fruit. The palate is round and opens with earthy/herbal tones and finishes with silky flavors of cassis, chocolate and black pepper. Balanced and drinkable now, but also an excellent addition to the collector's cellar.
OUR PRICE $49.99 90pts Robert Parker- "A blend of 52% Malbec, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Petit Verdot, the 2013 Dragon's Tooth is a beautiful effort from Trefethen. The wine shows loads of licorice, blueberry and blackberry fruit, a touch of chocolate, medium to full body, sweet tannin and a long finish. By Napa standards, it's a good value. Drink it over the next decade." Blend: 52% Malbec, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot
OUR PRICE $21.99 For this lovely blend, Merlot adds a lively spice and herbal character. Malbec brings color, plush fruit characters and a hint of floral. Petit Verdot adds structure. Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone with Cabernet Franc offering finesse and a peppery perfume. Blend: 42% Merlot, 38% Malbec, 14% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc
SALE $24.99 WINERY $36 90pts Tasting Panel-The nose opens with bursts of orange blossoms and hints of lemon cream pie.
