Trefethen 2009 Dragon’s Tooth Red (Napa Valley)

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

This is so smooth, rich and mellow, you hardly notice how intense the tannins are. But they are hard, and lock down the flavors of black currant and black licorice, plus the complex notes of minerals, roasted game and dark spices. Drink this Malbec-based blend now after decanting and over the next six years.
