Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a refined, classic expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced predominantly from prime benchland vineyards across Rutherford, Oakville, and St. Helena. It presents inviting, layered aromas of ripe dark plum, black cherry, cassis, and cocoa powder, framed by subtle nuances of cedar, mocha, and toasted French oak. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied yet remarkably balanced structure, showcasing velvety tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, seamless finish filled with dark fruit and delicate spice notes.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with prime ribeye steak, braised short ribs, grilled lamb chops, roasted venison, or aged sharp cheddar cheese.

So toasty, espresso-like, dense and savory in aromas, then graphite, black currant, black olive and cocoa flavors on a firmly tannic texture. Very taut, structured, lithe and muscular, with iron, blackberries, tobacco and dark chocolate. Drinkable now and best from 2030.

Menthol, licorice and violet notes lead off, followed quickly by a gush of warmed cassis and boysenberry compote flavors. The finish is frankly toasted, but there’s good energy to keep this honest. Drink now through 2032.
