FAQ: Fairest Creature's 2019 Triniceros Named Top Napa Cabernet of the 21st Century

Fairest Creature's 2019 Triniceros Cabernet Sauvignon has been named the single greatest Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon of the 21st century by Robb Report, securing the No. 1 spot in their Top 50 list.

Fairest Creature was founded in 2018 by proprietor Jayson Hu, who came from Silicon Valley and shifted his creative and analytical mindset from technology to wine after years of intentional education and immersion in the wine industry.

The 2019 Triniceros is a blend of three separate barrels first produced by legendary winemakers Thomas Rivers Brown, Benoit Touquette, and Philippe Melka, then assembled by superstar blender Michel Rolland. Robb Report describes it as having heady aromas of blue fruits, cocoa powder, espresso, black raspberry, and graphite with flavors of ripe red and black fruits, tobacco leaf, and brown baking spices.

This recognition is significant because it surpasses iconic, legacy producers, making it an exceptional outcome for a relatively new Napa project that quickly earned acclaim among legendary wines.

The Fairest Creature winemaking team consists of four renowned winemakers: Philippe Melka, Benoit Touquette, Thomas Rivers Brown (each making one wine from identical vineyard sources), and Michel Rolland who blends the fourth wine from barrel selections of all vineyard lots.

Fairest Creature produces four wines made from nine different Napa vineyards, with each of the three winemakers (Melka, Touquette, Brown) making one wine each from identical vineyard sources, and the fourth wine being a barrel selection blended by Michel Rolland.

The announcement was made on December 19, 2025, by Robb Report authors Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen, who compiled the list of the 50 Greatest Cabernet Sauvignons of the Century so far.

Fairest Creature is a Napa Valley winery that sources grapes from premier vineyard sources in the Napa Valley region of California.

Jayson Hu began a wine import business around 18 years ago, visited and studied great vineyards and wineries worldwide, and then founded Fairest Creature in 2018 to make the finest wine possible by securing premier Napa Valley vineyard sources and assembling a highly sought-after winemaking team.
