Trésor Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

A soft and delicious example of an Alexander Valley Bordeaux-blend. While it may not be the most exciting, it hits the spot and pairs perfectly with grilled meats.

A fun blast from the past. Dark ruby. Big blend, fruit forward.

Let’s go Red Sox

Smiling last night and of course this wine helped

Interesting cab blend from Sonoma and I really was pleasantly surprised and did not even realize I had these

Tresor is a deep ruby wine that lets the Cab come through amid four other Bordeaux varieties. The nose is laden with black and blue berries, cassis, oak spice and some pencil shavings. The palate is beautifully savory, with a cloak of olives, cigars and minerals draped over the dark fruit.

The 2012 vintage of Trésor is deceptively easy to love. Medium garnet with an elegant, round bouquet of black fruit, violets and forest floor, the tannins are so ripe and silky the wine feels complete today. It will gain depth with time but the fruit is so well integrated and lush it will be hard to put this wine away for long. Cocoa, blueberry, bramble and more all in perfect balance, held together by restrained oak. A beautiful example of an elegant Meritage blend.

Deans had this 9 years ago

This must be near its peak. The current release of Trésor is big and rowdy, but this is smooth and mellow.

10 years ago this wine opened my eyes to how much better wine can be than what I was buying in the grocery store. Now with more than a decade in the bottle this has fleshed out into a wonderfully balanced California meritage. A treat to revisit after all this time.

Exceptionally well balanced blend, elegant, but lively. An uber Meritage.

2010. Hoped for a bit more with this one. Incredibly dark, almost black in the glass. Loaded with blackberry and currant, but has a bit of astringency that throws everything off just a little.
