2019 TREFETHEN FAMILY VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON OAK KNOLL DISTRICT OF NAPA VALLEY 750ML

For the third year in a row, this was a 97-point Platinum Medal winner in the Decanter World Wide Wine Awards!! They said “Dark, sleek cassis fruit, ripe and layered, with notes of tobacco leaf, coffee bean, mocha and dried violet. Pretty, floral palate with a slightly smoky character. Ripe tannins, refreshing acidity and lovely eucalyptus and menthol on the lingering finish. A great example of the power and freshness of Cabernet Sauvignon. Plenty of time ahead.” 97pts Decanter

This wine opens with ripe red fruit, black pepper, and anise leading to notes of dried flowers, currants, and blackberries. Those flavors carry through on the full-bodied palate, which is supported by polished tannins and a lengthy finish. Though approachable now, this wine will continue to develop and evolve over the next decade. Winemaker

Decanter Magazine is the leading wine publication in the world and once a year they have their World Wide Wine Awards and the wines that get their top award, a platinum medal are the finest wines they have tasted in a given years. Like the Wine Spectator’s Top 100. Todays wine the Trefethen Cabernet Oak Knoll District 2019 has one a platinum medal three years running, extremely impressive and in 2019 scored a massive 97pts. Al this for a Napa Cab that we have at the great price of $57.99 with Free Case Shipping. Built in 1886, John and Janet Trefethen began restoring what is today the Trefethen winery in 1973. A national historic landmark and the only wooden gravity-flow winery in the Napa Valley. Trefethen Estate winery is one of the few in Napa Valley that’s never bought any grapes. All of their wines are produced with grapes sourced from their estate vineyards, mostly the 61 vineyard blocks that make up their Main Ranch. The establishment of the Oak Knoll District AVA in 2004 is in large part due to Trefethen’s presence there. Just south of Yountville and Stag’s Leap, Oak Knoll is one of the coolest regions in the Valley. The Cabernet ripens slowly over an extended season developing complex flavors. This Cab is sourced all from the main ranch and is a great example of power, balance and finesse. The 2019 vintage for Napa is excellent. The Napa Vintners Assoc, “All in all, exceptional fruit with bright acidity and ample texture promises an amazing vintage.” Dan Petroski of Larkmead Vineyards, “An excellent vintage that will make wines with great structure.” Galloni of Vinous comments; “the 2019s I have tasted so far are fabulous. The wines feel like they have a little more energy, power and depth than the 2018s” and the 2018 was a 96pt Parker’s WA vintage. A great Cab at a great price
