Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This dark blackish wine shows intense aromas of fresh black cherries, sweet cedar and coffee, with dark/milk chocolate and wet gravel notes. Background traces of vanilla, cigar box and cinnamon toast linger. Full, rich, and round, the palate flavors are fresh blackberries, sweet cherries, bittersweet chocolate and cinnamon.

This complex wine pairs well with delicately-prepared dishes like pepper crusted tenderloin with mushroom cream and roasted asparagus.

Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

Professional Ratings

    An extraordinary wine, this is one of the best offerings from Sequoia Grove. Everything is pitch-perfect: Its fine, ripe fruit flavors of blackberry, blueberry and black currant are balanced with earthy, herbal tones; its tannins are soft and rich, with a sharp acidity and a tasteful overlay of oak. Delicious as it is now, you’ll want to cellar this wine for at least six years.

    Exhibits a distinct loamy earth dustiness, with touches of sage, framing an elegant core of pure, supple dark berry and ending with a touch of charcoal. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2023.

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
