Opened a couple hours prior to service and enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1994 “Estate Reserve” pours a slightly hazy garnet color with a near opaque core and some rim variation; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated dark fruits: cassis, black cherry, green bell pepper, tobacco, potpourri, old leather bound books, beef broth, and organic dusty earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium (integrated) tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with the addition of pomegranates. The finish is long. ABV is 12.5%!! This is about as old school as it gets and I’d be tempted to call this Left Bank Bordeaux if I was blinded. Wow. Drink now…but will probably live for another 10+ years if stored as well as this bottle (perfect). — 2 hours ago

1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Cedar, mint, and anise on the nose. Tamer on the palate with dark cherries. Lovely texture but medium minus depth. Short finish. The best of the Sequoia Grove single vineyard cabs, but still overpriced. — 4 months ago

PnP. Beautiful dark red color. Massive oak bomb on the nose and palate. Oak over powers everything else. Very big, deep wine. Medium finish. — 7 months ago

Definitely a treat. Not sure we like this as much as some of the others we’ve tried recently but very good and nice age. Used aerator. — 3 months ago

PnP. Better than most single Vineyard Cabs from Sequoia Grove. Dark red color. Dark cherries and anise, with subtle baking spices. Medium depth but finish was lacking. Better than expecting. — 7 months ago

This is Sequoia Groves entry level Napa Cab, but it punches well above its price point. At 5 years old it was a Lucious, fruit forward cab that paired well with a variety of food, especially red meat. Nice nose, It Also enhances the flavor of chocolate. Very approachable wine.
