Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2022

95 Points, Decanter – 93 Points, James Suckling

The wines that come from this unique wooden gravity-flow winery are truly special. They’re full-bodied, fresh, and incredibly expressive, yet perfectly integrated and balanced, no doubt the result of a winemaking facility unlike any other and a team of winemakers that know exactly how to handle each vintage.

Trefethen’s 2022 Oak Knoll Cabernet is fantastic. Dollar for dollar, I have it up there with the best of the vintage. It’s dark and brooding with seductive aromas of black cherry, plum, lavender, and creme de cassis with a hint of dark chocolate. There are some noticeably smooth and lengthy tannins to this, with some great weight too. It’s a big ol’ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that can dance!
