Trefethen 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley | A pulchritudinous Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from a legendary house which at 22 years on is gloriously balanced and still full of ripe fruit but at an en pointe equipose in a Bordelaise expression a la Saint-Estèphe. Plenty of red currants, lingonberries, dried cranberries, black currants and blackberries but at this age these are underscored with a vetiver aroma, a pheromonal appeal, and a welcomed edge of currant leaf, cedar, allspice and a penetrating life start to finish.
