My favorite red from Trefethen is their 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a classic nose of black currants, crushed rocks and spring flowers. This medium-bodied, stylish, graceful, harmonious red defines prettiness and finesse, proving that not every Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa has to be a powerhouse. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

Fragrant chocolate, spice, bramble, undergrowth, oak and perfume. Sophisticated and elegant with silky fruit, a lovely texture and perfect balance. Stylish and very appealing.

A great, upscale wine to drink now with the best you can pair it with. It shows classic Napa character, with firm, dry tannins, fine acidity and blackberry and black currant flavors. It’s almost entirely Cabernet Sauvignon, with tiny additions of other Bordeaux varieties. Give it a good decant, or cellar it for 5–7 years and see what happens. ——S.H.(3/1/2011)—— 92
