Product Description

Overview

Winery: Trione

Our Trione Cabernet Sauvignon Block 21 Cabernet is a single vineyard selection of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Trione Cloverdale Ranch. We blended this wine with 9% Merlot from our Geyserville ranch, 2% each Petit Verdot and Malbec from Cloverdale and 2% Cabernet Franc from our Home ranch. The blend adds complexity and depth to the wine. We harvested the grapes by hand and fermented each variety separately and then barrel aged the wine for twelve months. 2008 was the first vintage that we added Cabernet Franc to the mix for a classic Bordeaux blend. Once we determine our blend, the wine went back to barrel and aged an additional twelve months to ‘marry’ the varietals.

Elegant yet dense and complex, allspice and hints of clove. This wine is silky but best described as finely detailed. The first impression is shy but then the palate opens to a medley of black currant, tobacco and vanilla bean.  The finish is superbly balanced with polished silky tannins and background hints of dusty cinnamon and spice.

 
“Rich and dramatic, packed with red and black currant, and sandalwood flavors. 
This is a very intense wine, impressive for its power.” 92 points / cellar selection

The Trione Winery Estate

For 35 harvests, for 35 Septembers, our family has carefully farmed and managed some of the finest grapes in Sonoma County. With painstaking devotion to the land, three generations – Henry Trione, sons Mark and Vic, and Mark’s daughter Denise – have developed a reputation for producing premium grapes. Our wines are characteristic of the appellations in which they are grown: the cool, slow-ripening flavors of the Russian River Valley and the rich, dark-berry essence of the Alexander Valley.

Over these many harvest seasons, we have owned and managed more than 700 acres of the best grapes and soils in these highly respected Sonoma County appellations. We have learned to balance and blend the gifts of nature with state-of-the-art winemaking. Our grapes have been the foundation of many award-winning wines. Now we bring our grapes to you in wines bottled under our own label, Trione Vineyards & Winery.

We are passionate about family and tradition, especially traditions that include good food and good wine. Our vineyards, our wines – and our winery – have been a labor of love, the culmination of our family’s long tradition of dedication to Sonoma County. Please share a bottle of wine from the Trione Vineyards and Winery with your family and friends, and taste our commitment to excellence. Salute!

The Trione Winery Vineyard

River Road Ranch is our jewel in the Russian River Valley Appellation. It is 115 acres total in the rolling hills of the valley at a location where the river makes a westerly turn towards the Pacific Ocean. The soils are alluvial deposits of the Russian River described as sandy clay loam over sandy loam subsoil’s. They are well-drained soils that are perfect for growing world class Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Syrah.

Our Cloverdale Ranch is situated along the western flank of the Mayacamas Mountains that run to the eastern bank of the Russian River. It is located in the upper end of the Alexander Valley Appellation, and is 180 acres in size. Our grapes for Trione Cabernet Sauvignon come from one block planted in 2001 that we call Block 21. It is a single selection of the Bordeaux clone 339. The soils at this site are described as clay loam over sand clay loam subsoil’s, with a high percentage of rounded gravel from alluvial sediments. The combination of soil and exposure are perfect for growing concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon with intense flavor and color.
