| Description: | The red dragon on the label of our Dragon's Tooth Napa Valley Red Wine originated in ancient British legend where two dragonsone red, one whitefight in the sky. The boy Merlin watches them with King Vortigern and when the red prevails, driving the white across the sea, the boy foretells the coming of King Arthur who will lead Vortigern's people, the Welsh, to victory over the invading Saxons.Catherine Trefethen, our First Lady, was Welsh. Her loves for wine, gardens and family were the inspiration for our estate in Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District, and though she has departed, her spirit is still felt, especially in the cool foggy mornings when mist envelops the vineyard and our minds tend towards whimsical imaginings.Highlighting our new plantings of Malbec and Petit Verdot, this 100% Estate wine is born in the rockiest part of our vineyard where obsidian flakes occasionally remind us of the toothy smile of Y Ddraig Goch (The Red Dragon), guardian and symbol of Wales. Food pairing This is definitely a red meat wine that can stand u p well with spicy Mexican or Cajun dishes. Or, try it with Italian dishes featuring red meats and hearty tomato sauces. Dragon's Tooth also shines with barbecue, chili and sausage. Producer Trefethen Family Vineyards produces a diverse range of award-winning varietal, blended and reserve wines - all from our Napa Valley estate - exhibiting the classic hallmarks of fine wine quality: richness with elegance, concentration with finesse, complexity with harmony, and sophistication with approachability. Reflecting both the relatively cool climate of our Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley estate vineyard and the Trefethen family's preference for balanced wines, this classic style dovetails perfectly with the growing movement of connoisseurs in the United States away from wines of unbridled alcohol and ripeness toward wines of greater finesse and food-friendliness. |
