Dragon's Tooth Napa Valley Red Wine is a blend that captures the essence of its storied heritage. Our 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 our vineyard. This rich history is echoed in the wine's bold flavors and complexity. With a blend of 49% Malbec, 37% Petit Verdot, and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, it reflects the unique terroir of Napa Valley.
The wine opens with bold aromas of blueberry, plum, and cassis. These dark fruit notes are complemented by hints of earthy notes of leather and molasses. On the palate, the wine is generous and lively, with youthful tannins that add both depth and energy. The finish is long and concentrated, inviting you to savor each sip. This wine pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes, enhancing the flavors of smoked meats and slow-cooked meals.

97 Decanter 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.
