2013 Revelation, Contra Costa
A Blend of Mystery and Mastery for Winter

The 2013 Revelation from Trinitas Cellars is a bold and contemplative red blend that captures the power and elegance of Contra Costa’s storied vineyards. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wine is a profound expression of artistry and terroir. Perfectly suited to the winter season, it offers a soulful, layered experience—ideal for candlelit dinners, intimate gatherings, and moments meant for reflection.

This full-bodied blend opens with a captivating bouquet of dark berries and plum, lifted by warm baking spice, earthy undertones, and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate, rich and multifaceted flavors of blackberry and black cherry unfold gracefully, accented by hints of cocoa, cedar, and minerality. Polished tannins provide structure and elegance, carrying through to a long, resonant finish that invites slow savoring and thoughtful conversation.

The depth and complexity of the 2013 Revelation pair beautifully with winter cuisine and hearty dishes. Enjoy it alongside braised lamb with rosemary, slow-cooked short ribs, prime rib, or roasted pork with spiced fruit accompaniments. Vegetarian pairings shine with wild mushroom ragù, roasted root vegetables, or hearty lentil-based dishes. For relaxed winter entertaining, serve it with a refined charcuterie board featuring aged cheddar, smoked meats, and dried figs.

With only a limited number of cases remaining, the 2013 Revelation offers a rare opportunity to experience the profound character of Contra Costa’s old vines. Drinking beautifully now while still promising continued evolution, it is a compelling choice for winter enjoyment—and a timeless addition to the cellar for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
