title: Trefethen 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Oak Knoll District)
description: 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.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
