2014 Trefethen Dragon’s Tooth Cabernet Sauvignon $60

()

Winery Tasting Notes:  “This alluring blend presents aromas of blackberry and cracked pepper, with hints of cinnamon and other baking spices. The palate features flavors of red currant and wood smoke leading to a long, elegant finish that would disarm the fiercest of dragons. Malbec brings color and diversity of fruit; Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon bring darker fruit and robust structure.”

Alcohol Level:  14.5%

Winemaker:  Bryan Kays

Maturity:  The name reflects the intensity of this wine.  Chewy now, and this will flourish nicely for years.

Pairings:  Winery:  “This blend shines with leaner cuts of meat like flank, sirloin and skirt steak. Also serve with roasted lamb or pork roast drizzled with a dark fruit reduction sauce.”
