This is the top wine from the historic Trefethen winery in Napa. Purple in color, ruby at the rim, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, cedar, slight leather and spice. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Good balance. On the palate, cassis with a touch of leather and smoke. Long finish. This is a pretty classic cab from good not great vintage. It is drinking well now and should continue for another ten to twelve years. Nice on its own, this would work well with Lamb chops.
