The Small-Lot series showcases our exclusive small production & experimental wines.
Inviting aromas of blueberry and plum are lifted by hints of baking spice, herbs, and a touch of black pepper. On the palate, dense yet polished tannins are balanced by fresh acidity, revealing layers of dark fruit and subtle leather on a vibrant, structured finish.

As the winter rains had arrived early and stopped early, the vineyard soils were already quite dry when the vines began growing in the spring. We responded with early irrigation and the vines thrived throughout a very mild summer. The warm sunny days and cool evenings, reflecting our unique location in the Oak Knoll District of the Napa Valley, were perfect for ripening the grapes. The weather took a turn in September, with a significant heat spell followed by early rains, but fortunately our most delicate varieties had already been harvested. We are delighted with the character of this vintage, which features the classic Trefethen brightness on the palate.
Try this wine with dishes and ingredients that will highlight its earthy notes. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy recommends hen of the woods or shiitake mushrooms, along with grilled meat such as sausage, duck or lamb. Hearty sides of garlic crushed potato or scalloped potato, will complement its texture and complex nature.
