Oak Knoll, Napa Valley, California, USA
Came home from holiday party and pulled this. Cork was out before I realized I should have waited a bit longer. Surprisingly, this 08 Oak Knoll was very drinkable after 15 minutes, and luscious after 30 minutes. This could definitely have rested longer, but the 08 harvest was very well represented in this bottle. Evolving deep plum with a very subtle hint of spice.

Delectable. Excellent cab. Always believed the 2008 s to be great Napa wines.

I drank this a week ago- with my own personal Santa- and forgot to post it! What can I say that I haven't already about my love for Trefethen?
