description: This is certainly the best, ripest of Trefethen's current crop of Cabs, but its built along very different lines from more opulent wines further north along Highway 29. It's surprisingly tough, lean and angular for an '01, loaded with sharp-elbowed tannins, but it does seem to have the fruity stuffing for the cellar. Hold until at least 2008.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
