2021 Dragon’s Tooth
“Intrepid aromas of richly peppered blue and black fruit with a sheen of minty refreshment. Structured, polished and densely textured, with indulgent tannins and a penetrating bead of fine acidity. Built for the long haul.”

“A melange of blackberry and cherry flavours imbued with simmering menthol and aromatic anise to amplify. Expansive and generous with spicy oak tannins and a lengthy finish.”

“Floral, with hints of green capsicum aromatics; palate of red cherry, savoury herb, juniper, mountain herb and a lingering acidity.”

Our founders Eugene and Catherine Trefethen were ahead of their time. While terms like “sustainability” or “estate grown” were not widely used back in 1968, they understood that in order to produce world-class wines they would need a special plot of land that was treated with the utmost respect.
Today, the third generation of the Trefethen family carries on this vision. Wine lovers in search of outstanding Napa Valley wines turn to Trefethen knowing they will enjoy wines produced exclusively from our sustainably farmed estate vineyards.

Trefethen is pleased to announce that we have been honored with the California Green Medal Environment Award for 2022. The California Green Medal Sustainable Winegrowing Leadership Awards provide recognition to vineyards and wineries that are leaders in implementing the three tenets of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social equity.
There are moments that stand out as unusually pivotal, where the doors of possibility swing open. For an emerging Napa Valley, three French tastings combined to kick the door ajar. And for a young Trefethen Family Vineyards, the Gault&Millau Wine Olympics, held in Paris in 1979, and the rematch which took place in Burgundy the following year, were particularly consequential.
Enjoy the perfect wine & food pairings created by Winery Chef Chris Kennedy to compliment the season and Trefethen’s estate grown wines.
