*Description and vintage may vary from image and by store.
The 2022 Dragon’s Tooth from Trefethen Family Vineyards is a bold and expressive red blend crafted from Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. It opens with generous aromas of ripe red fruit and blackberry, accented by warm spice. On the palate, bright cherry and plum skin lead the way, supported by steady tannins and a subtle richness that builds toward a lingering finish.
Hints of cracked pepper and tobacco add depth, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced. This vintage pairs beautifully with bold, smoky dishes that can match its structure and intensity.
Fatty cuts of beef like ribeye enhance its richness, while BBQ flavors highlight the spice and dark fruit character. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy recommends pairing it with grilled mushrooms and charred onions to echo the wine’s savory notes and layered complexity.
