Trefethen Dragon's Tooth 2019

Their Nana, Catherine Trefethen, was Welsh. Her twin loves of wine and family were the original inspiration for our estate in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District. Celebrating our heritage, “Y Ddraig Goch”, the symbol of Wales, adorns this bottle of Dragon’s Tooth, a provocative blend born from the rockiest part of the vineyard.

Bold, dark fruit aromas of blackberry, plum, and boysenberry are complemented by notes of clove, nutmeg, and cedar. Generous on the palate, the lively acidity and youthful tannins add depth and energy, leading to a long, concentrated finish. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy suggests pairing Dragon‘s Tooth with our Four Cheese Ravioli with Smoked Ham and Greens. The smoky flavor of the ham highlights the dark fruit notes of the wine and the greens complement its peppery notes while the complex richness of the cheese cuts nicely through the tannins on the finish.
