2019 Trefethen Cabernet Franc

5/3/2024 - ArmadilloBandit wrote: 91 points

Minty and oaky on the nose when opened. After an hour decant those subsided a bit and gave way to some dry earthiness. Mouthfeel is smooth. Everything is well integrated right now. Should get better over the next two years but don’t see much more improvement after that.

Served with vegetable kabobs and miso roasted asparagus. Nice on the tongue, very well balanced. Some notes of lemon and apple. Smoothe long finish.

Holy wow — this was delicious. Decanted for a few hours and ate with steak and it was the perfect blend. Delicious fruit flavor but not overly powerful. Nice dryness without completely taking all the moisture from your mouth. Had to finish this bottle in one night because it was so good.

한국 웹에서 평점 등을 찾기가 어려워서 좀 겁이 났었지만 막상 마시고 나니 어마어마한 만족감을 줬던 와인.
아마 블라인드로 했으면 보르도 레드, 그것도 어느정도 오래된 와인이라고 하지 않았을까?
말그대로 지금 마셔도(라고 하기엔 그래도 7년이 지났지만) 맛있게 마실 수 있게 잘 만든 미국 와인.

노즈에서는 가죽향과 검은 과실이 아주 두드러진다.
시간이 지나도 이러한 향은 거의 사라지지 않고 점점 더 좋아하지는 기분이다.
오히려 미국 와인에서 기대할 수 있는 바닐라향은 거의 느껴지지 않는다.

팔렛에서는 꽤나 우아하게 풀린 탄닌이 매력적이다.
피니시가 조금 짧은 게 아쉽지만 바디감도 꽤나 묵직한 잘 만든 보르도 와인이지 싶다.
산도가 조금 약한 게 아쉽긴 하지만 그런대로 Drinkable 하다.

This was a pleasant surprise. Very well balanced with a hint of pineapple golden delicious apple with nice acidity to balance this out. Not an extremely oaky Chardonnay. Paired this with a Green Chicken Enchiladas.

1994 Trefethen Merlot

Oak Knoll District more

3/16/2024 - Gregmonroe wrote: NR

So I bought a cellar; 11/12/2022-12/31/2030: Pulled on a whim, on a rainy Saturday, with a clear calendar. Bottle fill was good, and used a durand to remove the cork. Cork was only about 50% saturated, and came out fully intact, with no problems. Popped and poured. At cellar temp, the nose was muted, but fruit forward. I expected it to be a lot more musty, but it wasn't. A bit vegetal, but still with decent fruit at the front. Still some tannins, and decent acidity. Nose expanded a bit as it warmed in the glass. Not bad! Falls off after 90 minutes or so though.

Edit: Interesting note - the bottle says this vintage is Trefethen's first estate merlot. A success for sure.

Hard to beat for just $28 locally on a mixed case purchase. Excellent Ca example of Chardonnay free of heavy - handed winemaking. I mostly drink Chablis & white Burgs but this strook a chord with me and won a spot in our regular week-night rotation.

disappointing, especially at over $60. maybe my bottle was heat damaged? I only say this after reading praise for it here, which I cannot understand based on my one experience.

day two; it is actually delicious in flavor, but I still do not like it. It is a bit sharp, and thin, and the flavors are not the deep, dark, smooth ones I prefer.

Trying it again, although the drinking experience is not pleasant, the flavor is, one is tempted to add it to a beef stew;,.. but it might be too sweet.

for comparison, I enjoy the Stags' leap cab: the Leap, 2019. of course it is $95. I also like Chateau Gloria 2015 at a similar price, and some 2010 Rioja grand riservas for less.
cheers!
