Trefethen 2008 Dragon’s Tooth Red Wine Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Trefethen / Dragon’s Tooth Red Wine

This vintage the wine is comprised of Malbec, Cabernet and Petit Verdot. It’s a deeper, darker, richer wine than the ’07, with which it was co-released, and equally high-scoring. Almost sweetly jammy in black cherries, raspberries, cola and caramelized oak, it’s rescued by firm tannins and a finish that dries it out in minerals and spices. Now–2016.
