2005 Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon RSV Oak Knoll Napa
99pts(WE)This is nearly perfect, a massive, monumental wine whose sheer power is matched only by its grace and refinement. The flavors of blackberries, cassis, dark chocolate, buttered toast and cedar flood the mouth, tightly controlled by firm tannins and good acidity. Decant for several hours if you open it now, but better to give it 6–10 years in the bottle. Wine Enthusiast April, 2010 Issue Cellar Selections
Aromas of clove and anise emerge with luscious black cherries and a sensation of cigar box tobacco. Velvety tannins wash over the palate with blackberry and cherry flavors in an everlasting finish. Winery notes
