Wow! First to review. Notice the bottle of Halo by trefethen to the right? Opened this after sharing that other bottle. Bought this before think Kirkland wines are usually interesting and delicious and limited. Especially the reds. This $10 Kirkland napa blend is a steal. I bet in a blind taste people wouldn’t guess it was $10. I wish I bought more. I predict next time I go to Costco which I is next week it will not be available. — 3 years ago

They greet you with their Chardonnay when you visit. They buy grapes from Trefethen to make their Chardonnay.

My experience with this is when you are mosttly a red wine producer, you need a white to start people & for Winery dinners with non meat dishes. It is not the primary focus of what they do. It’s more of an after thought and what you get is something very serviceable. That is the case here.

Their Chardonnay is very classic Sonoma...good but, nothing outstanding. Green apple, lemon, lime, kiwi, some butter & cream, mid oaked & backboned.with decent acidity and nicely polished. — 5 years ago

Bright silver/gold color. Aromas of lemon candy, apple, white flowers and lime. Expressive flavors of lemon, tropical fruit, Granny Smith apple and peaches. Hint of fresh herbs on the medium-plus finish. Mouth watering acidity and excellent balance. Pleasant mouthfeel and aftertaste. So flavorful, bold and well crafted. Heard very good things about Trefethen Dry Riesling and I am glad I finally tried it. Unique Riesling style. — 9 months ago

Matthiasson’s version of a balanced and true-to-place Riesling. These grapes are of the eldest vines grown at the Trefethen property. 105 cases produced. 12.1% EtOH.

A very pale yellow, slow forming legs, dry and acidic wine with notes of lemon zest, honeysuckle, jasmine, chalk, green apple, beeswax. — 5 years ago

This was the surprise of the evening. Wasn’t expecting a Napa Cab from the 90s to be this restrained, pretty and savory: black olive, peppercorns, pencil shavings, stewed black cherries. — 5 years ago

I shall be the first to rate the 2016 vintage.. I find this Chardonnay to be almost perfect. I am usually not a fan of chards but Trefethen has the talent to make it palatable for every drinker. It has a marshmallow touch to it, light golden color, apricot on the nose and slightly lemony on the back of the tongue and tingly at the very top. — 5 years ago
