A high-quality red wine made from 100% Cabernet Franc, planted in our own vineyards on alluvial soils in Oak Knoll, a cool area in the southern part of Napa Valley.
It has a unique character that is a result of the complex interweaving of various elements, such as the concentrated flavor typical of Napa, the cool flavor typical of Oak Knoll, which is strongly influenced by fog, and the soft, long finish that comes from the alluvial soil.
This wine will allow you to once again experience the potential of this variety, which is often overshadowed and underestimated by Cabernet Sauvignon.
Using only grapes from their own vineyards, where they can perfectly control the quality, the family-run business has been producing the highest quality wines for over 50 years, despite the constant acquisitions in Napa Valley.
Napa's climate is truly unique.
The further south you go, the closer you are to the cold ocean where cold currents flow, so the climate is cooler and the flavors become more delicate.
Located at the southernmost tip of Napa, Trefethen's style is truly elegant.
They also practice natural winemaking, including sustainable viticulture (environmentally friendly farming methods).
In 2022, the company will receive the Green Medal Environmental Award, which is given to leaders who practice the three tenets of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social justice, attracting further attention.
