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

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
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
This is a great wine. Goes wonderfully with seafood grilled or cooked with light sauces — 10 years ago
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
2012. Christening the finished bottle box table by popping open a former occupant. Simply a perfect wine. Mustard flowers embedded in resin sent be the good folks at #trefethenfamilyvineyards — 6 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

Typical German Reisling petrol nose with light fruit and pleasant minerality — 9 years ago
