(649 views) | | | Tasted by t0pshelf on 9/28/2021: Tannins are now *very* thin but wine hasn't turned, so still drinking nicely. Like the chocolate notes. Not a lot else going on. Drink now if you still have it! (711 views) | | | Tasted by MrD on 9/12/2020: Better on day 2. Either needs more decant or more time in the cellar. (666 views) | | | Tasted by ravbik on 6/13/2018 & rated 92 points: Wonderful well balanced cab. Fruity but not too sweet . Medium body and decent tannins . Good drinking window (1203 views) | | | Tasted by Braunsteins1 on 12/31/2016 & rated 91 points: Much better after 2-3 hours of air. By day 2 it seemed to be rather light with little to no depth. (1648 views) | | | Tasted by VAD on 7/3/2016 & rated 92 points: Had with tri tip, just excellent. Great fruit and balance. Nice clean finish! (1681 views) | | | Tasted by PinotPaul on 1/9/2015 & rated 91 points: Wonderfully smooth with typical Cab nose and flavors. Very nice, wish I had more. (2396 views) | | | Tasted by Chainthroer on 11/15/2013 & rated 93 points: Deep garnet color. It has blackberry, soft black currant, black cherry, violets, cedar and cigar box from the oak. Full bodied, rich and intense fruit. Viscous and soft in the mouth. The tannins are soft and pretty much subdued by the fruit intensity. A long finish. Lots of time left for enjoying this wine. (3257 views) | | | Tasted by What I'm Drinking Now on 10/16/2013 & rated 91 points: I hadn't heard of Trione before Mike Good of Timeless Wine started promoting it via e-mail offers. I didn't bite but one of my best friends did and we opened his first bottle a few days ago. We were blown away by how good this wine was and would have assumed that it was Napa Cab given it's ripeness. 2007 was obviously a very generous year.
The wine features dark red/black cherries and a bit of ripened plum on a medium to full bodied frame. The front palate is where all of the action takes place but there is enough acidity to keep the wine from tasting flabby. It's a very drinkable wine with a long, sweet finish. We drank over approximately one hour and agreed it was good juice. Cheers! (2952 views) | | | Tasted by VAD on 5/10/2013 & rated 92 points: Very smooth and a long finish. Very nice cab (2718 views) | | | Tasted by ageverett on 5/7/2013 & rated 91 points: Nice bottle that is drinking well. Plenty of dark fruit, but also a bit of tartness that is not unpleasant. Well integrated. We shared with several guests, so did not get to see how it developed once it really started breathing. (2728 views) | | | Tasted by MrD on 4/6/2013 & rated 89 points: Not as good as the first tasting I had but may have been a pairing problem (hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill at a friends house). Color was dark and intriguing but it seemed a little simpler than last time. But I do think it's a beautiful bottle of wine. (1910 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 2/12/2013 & rated 90 points: Trione Tiny Bottle Tasting; 2/12/2013-2/16/2013 (My Place - Washington, DC): A nice purple-earthy color. The aromas of fresh black cherries, violets and red licorice are sleek and elegant; they don’t punch you in the nose. The palate shows silky tannins, surprisingly fresh acid and a medley of delicious flavors. Black cherry and currant fruit is highlighted by menthol, cedar and creamy oak. A tangy cherry note lingers with toast and earth on the finish. A cabernet with boldness, but also class. (1706 views) | | | Tasted by bmerrell on 2/5/2013 & rated 93 points: Decant for one hour. Very smooth. Needs to age a couple more years. Good value. (1373 views) | | | Tasted by MattMauldin on 1/16/2013 & rated 91 points: Trione tasting: Dark ruby color. Aromas of roasted bell pepper and coffee with black currant and cassis. More dark berry and currant flavors, mellowly ripe with hints of cocoa and roasted coffee. Creamy polished tannins and full finishing notes. Very approachable. (1633 views) | | | Tasted by t0pshelf on 12/29/2012: Smooth yet rich in tannins. Very much enjoyed this wine. (1053 views) | | | Tasted by VAD on 12/2/2012 & rated 92 points: Excellent Cab. Very easy to drink. I will try to find more of this wine. (1176 views) | | | Tasted by PinotPaul on 10/1/2012 & rated 91 points: Wonderful nose of cassis, black current, cedar, and vanilla. Slight tannin in the mouth but very smooth and full of fruit and flavors. Nice finish. Deep purple color says drink me.

| Trione Producer websiteCabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyAlexander Valley Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia
