Sequoia Grove Napa Cabernet 2022 Rated 94DM

Decannter Magazine Review
Rated 94
This blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec is sourced half from estate vines in Rutherford. Aged for 18 months in 55% new French oak, this is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with richly textured, velvety tannins that frame an attractive profile of cassis, black cherry, and plum fruit. Nuances of warm red baking spices, leather, fine pipe tobacco, espresso bean, and dark cacao add complexity. At the same time, the hallmark Rutherford loamy earth character is prominent on the nose and palate. With good concentration, freshness, and energy, this wine is delicious straight from the bottle and well-suited for both immediate enjoyment and further ageing. Drinking Window 2025-2035.

Wine Tasting Notes
This classically rich Sequoia Grove Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is red burgundy in color with aromas of black cherry and creamy vanilla, followed by blueberry, blackberry, cherry cola, and grilled meat. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon is seamless and elegant with silky tannins, intense flavors of cherry and floral notes, and a hint of burnt sugar and roasted nuts. Drink now or age 10 or more years.
