Eschol by Trefethen Red Blend Napa Valley

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc opens with rich aromas of clove and cherry, layered with hints of cola, mint, and cedar. On the palate, lush ripe cherry and maple syrup unfold alongside vanilla, leather, and molasses, with moderate tannins and a lively brightness through the mid palate. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy recommends pairing it with a classic cheeseburger, where the richness of the meat softens the wine's tannins, or with game meats like venison or elk to match its savory depth.
