2022 Trefethen Family Vineyards Dragon's Tooth, Oak Knoll District, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

This wine opens with generous aromas of ripe red fruit, blackberry, and a hint of warm spice. On the palate, bright cherry and plum skin lead the way, supported by steady tannins and a subtle richness that builds toward the finish. Notes of cracked pepper and a touch of tobacco add depth, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced.

Try this wine with bold, smoky dishes that can stand up to its structure and depth. Fatty cuts of beef, like ribeye, bring out its richness, while BBQ flavors highlight its spice and dark fruit character.

Blend: 46% Malbec, 28% Petit Verdot, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon

TASTING NOTES: 

Aromas of blackberries, licorice, sweet spices and dried herbs. The palate is rich and structured with firm tannins and dark fruit. Bold and savory with a lasting finish.
