Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 - Limited
"This Cabernet Sauvignon is made from some of the finest lots from our estate..."
The dedication of the Trefethen family is manifest in every aspect of our operation, from the soil to the table, including sustainable farming, thoughtful winemaking, and gracious hospitality.
This elegant wine has aromas of fig, plum, cassis, tobacco, and black pepper, with hints of bay leaf and mint. This rich palate features flavors of Luxardo cherry, fresh plum, blackberry, and dried fruits, followed by sustained and dense tannins and a long finish.
Ample rainfall in the spring recharged the soil profile and provided a strong start to the growing season. The weather during the summer featured consistent warmth and sunshine without any major heat spells. Cooler than average temperatures in August and September slowed the ripening process, providing long hangtime and leading to complex flavor development. October was mostly dry and warmer than usual allowing us to pick each block at optimal ripeness. The harvest was complete beforeNovemberandthe start of an epic rainy season
Our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon’s herbaceous notes-complement most dried herbs and its rich texture stands up to the weight of a tomato-based meat sauce. Winery Chef Chris recommends pairing with our Herbed Parisian Gnocchi with Fennel Sausage and Stewed Tomato.
