Trefethen is one of a very small group of vintners in Napa Valley that remain dedicated to Riesling in a dry style, and thankfully so. This vintage shows lovely white flower, apple and spice aromas, with a steely dry palate that emphasizes the apple fruit and a sturdy stone mineral core. Drink it young for its freshness, or age it up to ten years — longer if you dare. A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
