Trump Winery New World Reserve 2016 is a Bordeaux-style red blend from Virginia's Monticello AVA, 100% estate grown, made from 66% Merlot, 20% Malbec and 14% Petit Verdot and bottled at 13% ABV.
The wine was aged in French oak and bottled in July 2018; 2,503 cases were produced.
It is complex and round, with well-structured tannins and notes of toasted oak, currant and black cherry, powerful yet elegant with a silky mouthfeel.
A collectible bottle from one of Virginia's best-known estates.
Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
