2022 Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Enticing aromas of cherries, pomegranate, pluots, and bramble. On the first sip, experience a smooth, lush entry that unfolds into a rich palate of dry herbs and juicy black raspberries. This well-structured, medium-to-full-bodied wine delivers an elegant, mouthwatering finish with notes of blackberry jam, black pepper, and tobacco, complemented by refined cocoa powder tannins from its Rutherford fruit core.

Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot

TASTING NOTES:

This tank sample of the final blend before bottling shows an abundance of ripe, juicy, almost syrupy fruit flavors, from blueberries to blackberries and cherries. It feels soft and plush, tastes warm and broad and adds chocolate and vanilla accents to all the sweet-tasting fruitiness. Drink or hold.

– James Suckling, 92 pts.

Ripe plums, darker berries, spice, and chocolaty, savory herb notes all emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, a nicely textured, medium-bodied, incredibly satisfying Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that has ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish.
