Deepest of Ruby color. Amazing nose with a hint of cinnamon. Iβm a big fan of Malbec but the petit Verdot really balances this wine out. Great legs and deep color make a visually appealing drink. Tons of fruit and mild tannins to balance the fruit out. Drinking this wine on Christmas Eve and I feel a little guilty like I opened a present early. Trefethen never disappoints. β 2 years ago

Birthday dinner in Dana Point's Lantern District at Craft House with Ramon. Way to start of the birthday month. Crisp, dry and full of flavor! β 10 years ago
Could use some more aging. More spice and more bold. Not as good as the 2010 β 12 years ago
A delicious Cabernet off of Spring Mountain. Dense cherry and sweet vanilla are framed in French Oak with a supple lingering finish. You won't find this on at Binney's. β 14 years ago
Blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with splashes of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec all SLD estate fruit, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, oak and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and currants with tobacco and herb spice. Fine smooth tannins, approachable, long finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and herb mineral character. Nice! β 6 months ago
At 6 years old, smooth and reflective of the volcanic terroir. Dark cherry, tobacco. September 2025. β 9 months ago
1hr plus decant. Dark red color. Cassis and dark fruit on the palate. Very sweet, like candy in a glass. Huge depth. Different style than most Napa Cabs but who doesnβt like candy! β 4 years ago
Dark garnet colored with a slight brick colored meniscus on the edges. Dark fruit, cedar, black olives and leather on the nose. Bold tastes of black plums, figs, cherry cola, and licorice wrapped in silky tannins and perfect acidity. A great finish. Kudos to my friend Steve Reynolds for making such an unbelievably great wine. This wine is not showing any signs of letting up. A true heavyweight Cabernet at a great price. β 6 years ago

A little jammy - needs air and time β 6 months ago
The petrol note is pronounced, yet beautifully integrated. Citrus and tropical tones emerge on the nose, joined by a faint wisp of smoke. The palate has Viognier-like texture, lending weight and shape, while bright, clean-cut acidity is balanced by just a touch of residual sweetness.
Itβs puzzling that Napa Valley can produce Riesling of this caliber! β 6 months ago
Itβs been a while since Iβve rated or ranked anything. Pulled this out of the cellar and it is absolutely incredible!!!! 2011 vintage. β 9 months ago

Dark Ruby. Lovely aromatics, violets, roses, flower garden that blossomed into a nice layered flavor trove of chocolate dipped cherry and toasted cinnamon stick. Perfect compliment to a NY Strip. β 7 years ago
Quite dark colored. Young nose with fruits, spices, fresh grass and strength can be felt. On the palate itβs balanced between the fruit flavors and the oak well integrated by the way, long finish and no heaviness. Excellent (91) β 11 years ago
Whenever I'm looking for my California Cabernet fruit basket. Love this stuff. β 13 years ago
