Rare Wine Made by Four Star Winemakers Lauded
NAPA, CA, December 19, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fairest Creature's 2019 Triniceros Cabernet Sauvignon, an ultra-limited Napa Valley Cabernet from a young winery founded by Jayson Hu, has been named the single greatest Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon of the 21st century by Robb Report—surpassing iconic, legacy producers.
"We're honored by this recognition from Robb Report," said Hu. "To be regarded as the greatest Napa Valley Cabernet of the 21st century so far — among so many legendary wines — truly speaks to the vision and dedication of our team." The Fairest Creature winemaking team consists of four renowned winemakers.
Robb Report authors Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen wrote in the story, "Fairest Creature has been producing amazing Napa Cabs for years, but we feel this blend of three separate barrels first produced by legendary winemakers Thomas Rivers Brown, Benoit Touquette, and Philippe Melka and then assembled by superstar blender Michel Rolland, stands out as the best Napa Cab we've tasted in a long time. It has heady aromas of blue fruits, cocoa powder, espresso, black raspberry, and graphite with jaw dropping flavors of ripe red and black fruits, tobacco leaf, and brown baking spices supported by a sturdy backbone of minerality."
In unveiling their list, DeSimone and Jenssen noted the depth and enduring appeal of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: "With a winemaking history stretching back to 1839, Napa Valley has been heralded as the source of some of the world's best Cabernet Sauvignon… With that in mind, we have chosen the 50 Greatest Cabernet Sauvignons of the Century so far."
Reflecting on Fairest Creature's achievement, the authors added that the 2019 Triniceros stood out among a field of iconic bottlings — an exceptional outcome for a relatively new Napa project that quickly earned acclaim.

Fairest Creature is the result of years of intentional education, study, and immersion in wine and the wine industry by proprietor Jayson Hu, who founded the winery in 2018. Jayson began a wine import business around 18 years ago. Coming from Silicon Valley, he shifted his creative and analytical mindset from technology to wine. Jayson visited, lived near and studied great vineyards, wineries, chateaus, and their wines around the world. He then set out to make the finest wine possible by securing premier vineyard sources in the Napa Valley and assembling the most highly sought-after winemaking team. The result is Fairest Creature, which produces four wines made from nine different Napa vineyards. Each of the Fairest Creature winemakers — Philippe Melka, Benoit Touquette, and Thomas Rivers Brown — make one wine each from identical vineyard sources with every release. The fourth wine is a barrel selection of all the vineyard lots made by these three winemakers, blended by world-renowned winemaker Michel Rolland.
