Large format library selection. Big fruit, holding up very well after 22 years.

Great balance and a wonderful, classic California Cabernet. Lovely elements of savory, Rosemary, sage and delicate cloves and other savory aromatic spices. Delicate kid glove leather aromas. Some mulled wine aromas as well Wonderful balance and depth, intense nose with great projection. Long finish lovely palate. Lovely food pairing wine

I was very impressed with the longevity of this cab. It still had firm tannins and seemed like it had several years left in it. Notes of black cherry and dark chocolate. Recommended.

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.

This is the fourth wine from four decades of Napa Valley wines I tasted at BottleRock. Good. But could benefit from more cellaring.
