Process & Profile

Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of Napa Valley's winemaking heritage. This rich, complex wine is crafted at the Sequoia Grove Winery, nestled in the renowned Rutherford district—a region celebrated for producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 vintage exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship that defines this brand. Grapes are hand-sorted and undergo a cold soak before fermentation with French yeast, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The result is a wine that harmonizes varietal purity with depth and sophistication, featuring a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 2% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, the Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon opens with captivating aromas of blackberry cobbler, black cherries, cassis, and warm spice, layered with hints of vanilla, caramel, and floral undertones. The palate showcases a medium-to-full-bodied texture with ripe black fruits such as plum, cherry, and blackberry intermingled with notes of mocha and cedar. Silky tannins frame the wine, while balanced acidity ensures a vibrant drinking experience. The lingering finish brings delightful touches of dark cocoa, balsamic, and spiced oak.
