Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon has defined Trefethen's estate since it was first planted in 1968, with the winery's first vintage released in 1974. The variety's history in this soil runs even deeper: Cabernet from the historic Eshcol Ranch took first place at the 1889 World's Fair, helping establish Napa Valley as a world class Cabernet region. For more than 50 years, Trefethen has crafted Cabernet in that same intentional style, balanced, elegant, age worthy, and expressive of place rather than power. Aromas of California bay leaf, dark plum, and cherry mingle with subtle hints of molasses and clove. On the palate, bright acidity brings energy to notes of raspberry and plum skin, supported by moderate tannins and a lively, balanced finish.
