WINEMAKER NOTES
In the heart of the Napa Valley, where the cool embrace of the Oak Knoll District defines viticultural wisdom, emerges the Trefethen 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon—a testament to decades of meticulous farming and a devotion to crafting wines of unparalleled depth and dignity. Since 1968, our estate vineyards have been the canvas for this elegant expression, and the 2020 vintage stands as a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors orchestrated by nature and nurtured by our unwavering commitment.
This Cabernet Sauvignon, a vinous ambassador of the Oak Knoll District, reveals a remarkable density of dark fruit on the palate. Yet, it doesn't stop there. A bright and lively peppery spiciness dances in harmony, creating an impeccable balance that not only tantalizes the taste buds but promises a graceful evolution both in the glass and the cellar. Each sip is a journey through time and terroir.
Aromas, as captivating as the Napa Valley sunset, waft from the glass. Black cherry, plum, and molasses intertwine with subtle notes of lavender and cedar, inviting you into a sensory embrace. As the wine unfolds on the palate, layers of tobacco, black pepper, and dark fruits reveal themselves, leading to an earthy richness that lingers on the finish—a signature of Trefethen's winemaking prowess.
The 2020 growing season, marked by an early onset after a dry winter, presented challenges that our seasoned vineyard team met with expertise. The summer, basking in the glow of abundant sunshine, became the warmest since 2003, blessing the grapes with concentrated flavors. The result is a wine that not only captures the essence of the vintage but also showcases the inherent brightness that has become synonymous with Trefethen.
Indulge in the extraordinary. Let the Trefethen 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon transport you to the sun-kissed slopes of the Oak Knoll District, where each sip is a celebration of tradition, terroir, and the timeless artistry of winemaking. Elevate your palate with a wine that transcends the ordinary—a true masterpiece in every pour.

93 POINTS - "Sophisticated oak spices top abundant, ripe and chocolaty fruit flavors in this full-bodied, generous and velvety textured wine. While needing time for full enjoyment, this gorgeous bottle could be decanted and savored sooner with a steak or roast." Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of black cherry, plum and molasses are layered with notes of lavender and cedar. Dense on the palate, flavors of tobacco, black pepper and dark fruits lead to an earthy richness on the finish.
