Named after the historic Eshcol Vineyards, which were part of the original Trefethen property in the late 19th century, this wine is crafted to embody the rich tradition of the estate. The winemakers at Trefethen carefully select varieties that thrive in their estate vineyards, ensuring a perfect harmony between the fruit and the winemaking style. By using a combination of oak aging and meticulous blending, the Eshcol Red offers a delightful introduction to Napa Valley's red wines, showcasing both approachability and quality.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Trefethen Eshcol Red bursts with a symphony of dark fruits on the nose, where black cherry and plum aromas are laced with a hint of mocha and sweet spice.The palate is a smooth, fruit-forward experience, presenting flavors of juicy blackberry and ripe raspberry. It's a medium-bodied wine that's well-structured with soft tannins, offering a plush mouthfeel. The careful use of oak provides a subtle toasty undertone without overpowering the fruit. The finish is pleasantly long, leaving a satisfying impression of Napa Valley's richness. This wine is a crowd-pleaser, ready to enjoy now or suitable for short-term aging.
