Sequoia Grove

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light cedar, tobacco and chocolates.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, licorice, coffee, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Already drinking beautifully, but needed 3 hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Fruit forward with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel. Interesting and entertaining.

Robert Parker 90 points. Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

A good sipping wine that paired beautifully with my New York Strip steak.

A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in (60% new) French Oak barrels.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

String and earthy with dark fruit. The tonella is better of course but this is still good. Drinking young. — 4 years ago

Second time it’s been a lit sweet and almost to the point of over aged. Need to drink this sooner. Still excellent but losing the optimal taste on the finish. — a month ago

Hayne Vineyard Petite Sirah 2005

Might have kept this a little too long as the flavors are a bit muddled. The aromas/nose on it fills the room so it’s very aromatic. The finish is long but all in the mid-palate and nothing in the cheeks so feels lacking. More acidic than I love. — a year ago

Another winespies purchase that has proven to be a good purchase. Strong spice, blackberry and slight cherry, cinnamon, and more. Medium tannins. A 7 year old wine that likely could age another 5 - 10 years. — 5 years ago

Just as delicious as I remember it. Can distinctly taste the black cherry. It is delightful to taste the actual description of the wine. Definitely on the sweeter side. — 6 years ago
