This was my surprise of the day. At 15-16yrs old, blind I would have guessed 7-10yrs old! Lots of youthful and ripe fruit here. The baby fat has been shed to show blackberry and black cherry alongside herbal spice, tobacco and just the slightest hint of leather. Cassis and plum round out the finish. If you have, open and enjoy!

Friday bottle #2 - the purpliest (is that a word?) cab I've seen. smooth with a long finish. Typical oak knoll cab. Always one of our favorite.

A flagship beauty from one of Napa's long-standing family wineries. Their historic old winery (originally built in 1886!) is a true Napa landmark. Badly damaged in the earthquake, our fingers are crossed and our glasses filled & raised for a speedy recovery.

This 2006 Reserve is ready to enjoy. Dark Purple with black fruit and graphite on the nose. Very smooth mid palate with hints of vanilla and chocolate swirl. Finishes with lots of dark berries held up by just a hint of Tannins. Spectacular start to Christmas Eve with my Son and Daughter in law.

02' Trefethen Reserve Cabernet. This wine is from two different vineyards in Oak Knoll. It was in barrel for 29 months, with a slight bit of Merlot.
A little funk on the nose when you first open this bottle. It quickly blew off. Black cherry, black raspberry, a little spice. It's truly a pop & pour wine. It's best days are slowly fading away. If you have any, drink them up.
