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. — 4 years ago

Pick some Italian herbs, grab some fresh soil and smash them together. What a great nose on this wine. Silk on the palette and a nice, somewhat abbreviated finish — 7 years ago

Oak knoll Malbec. Delicious, smoky leather, cloves and dark cherries. Beautiful expression and silky tannins. — 7 years ago

This is a review for the new SAUVIGNON BLANC, which sadly is so new, it's not even on Delectable. Crispy, heavy grapefruit notes, bitter, dry. If you love grapefruits, this is definitely the wine for you. Thirst quencher to drink alone, and pairs well with heavy sauced or sweet meats. — 7 years ago

Lives up to the hype. If you drink $60 Napa Cabs on the reg, you absolutely have to have the best Oak Knoll has to offer. Beats the Hell out of Trefethen. Looking forward to the white blend, which I purchased at the same time.

Dark, brilliant reflectivity, with a very bright purple rim. Dusty, yet velvety tannins, some tea leaf, blackberry compote, violets, perfume wafts out of the glass. Ability of this is in the classic range. A good decade on its side, could really show well with time. It's a rockstar now, don't get me wrong, just had a lot of potential. Absolutely ridiculous payout for a few Jacksons as of 2016. — 8 years ago

FHB 2014. Too hot and humid upstairs so hour decant in the fridge. Gone too soon- deck time chilling. Can’t wait to try it again in a few months. — 6 years ago

Seems to have lost a bit of fruit on the front end but lots of tertiary things going on here. Still had some life left in it! Out of a magnum too. — 7 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. — 4 years ago

A good white blend - citrus overtones and a bit of oak. April 2019. — 5 years ago

A big oil’ Napa Cab. My future father in law bought this bottle when Emma and I got engaged at Trefethen in 2017.

Perfectly balanced, which is necessary because the amount of new French oak leaves a serious impression. This was a great wine with Swedish meatballs and gravy. Definitely enjoy with a rich meal. — 5 years ago

9.1

My contribution to the evening - very Bordeaux styled with the main difference being the crazy Pyrazines in the aroma. 60% new French oak and 40% neutral oak barrel aging, with 91% Sauvignon Blanc, ending in Semillon and Muscat, 100% estate fruit, made by Kristen Belair, who spent time making wine at Turnbull, and Trefethen. Most guessed Bordeaux graves. Excellent wine and not what I expected. Kind of funky on the nose too, so though it is a pale, and light colored wine... it could actually use light decanting to let the funk and pyrazine burn off just a tad. — 6 years ago

The other reviews on this wine are bullshit. Medium to full-bodied, fruit forward with a dry finish. Drink it, you won't regret it. — 7 years ago

Tasting notes from the Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival...
This, along with the Trefethen Dragon's Tooth, were the winners of the night for me. Dark fruits but in no way overbearing. Lengthy and enjoyable finish. — 8 years ago
