Trefethen HāLo Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 750ml
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Notes from the Winemaker
Concentrated aromas of Bing cherry, plum and blackberry are layered with earthy notes of molasses and tobacco. Rich flavors of plum and berry carry through on the palate and are enhanced by hints of black pepper, leading to a long and powerful finish.
This wine would greatly complement a creamy cheese like brie and plays well with black pepper spice.
Reviews and Accolades
92 Points/James Suckling
A full-bodied red with blackberries, creamy cherries and sweet oak spices on the nose. Plenty of volume and ripe fruit on the palate with vanilla and dark chocolate character. Plush tannins with a vivid finish.
92 Points/Jeb Dunnuck
Lastly, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Halo checks in as 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with splashes of Petit Verdot and Malbec, all from the Oak Knoll District and raised in barrel. Blackcurrants, minty herbs, sage, and spicy oak define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a nicely balanced, layered mouthfeel, firm yet balanced tannins, and a good finish. Give it a few years. It's a rock-solid, classic, old school-styled Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that will evolve for 15-20 years if well stored.
