Janet Trefethen of Trefethen Family Vineyards had a big surprise to share with WineChannelTV this week in Dallas. It was not that she had just won another cutting horse competition or was excited for the 2010 Trefethen Wine Cruise.

Trefethen had just earned one of the most prestigious achievements in the wine world- a 99 point rated 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon by Wine Enthusiast! She was gratious enough to bring with a bottle for WineChannelTV.  So I knew I had to enjoy this somewhere special.

Traveling from Napa Valley, to Dallas and finally ending up at the brand new Vdara Hotel in Vegas, her 99 point beauty was just waiting for me to pour a glass.

I couldn’t wait to see what all the hype was about , how many times do you get to try a 99 point rated wine straight from the winemaker

It tasted heavenly…!  Smooth blackberry, boysenberry and bright fruit scented notes, were complemented perfectly by a smooth cherry, vanilla oak flavor that seemed to go on forever. This was definitely a 99 point wine .

Watch this video to see exactly what makes a 99 point rated wine so special and Stay tuned next week for my exclusive interview with Janet- a true American Wine Diva !

Cheers,

J
