Powerful fruit, gamey under-tones, hint of cocoa. Fabulous effort. — 8 years ago
Dark ruby red in color with a red rim.
What a gorgeous nose, with vanilla, spices, blackberries, cherries, oak, chocolate and black pepper.
Medium + in body, smooth and elegant.
Dry and smooth on the palate with cherries, black currants, Wood, vanilla, smoke, oak, spices and black pepper.
Long finish with round smooth tannins and peppercorn.
This is an awesome wine. Eight years old and showing a great capacity to age even longer.
If it had a little less vanilla this would be a perfect score, for me. If vanilla is your thing, this is it. Great Napa Valley Cabernet.

I was drawn to the description including caramel and creme brûlée. Delicious! Not too sweet nor too dry. The price makes it even better. Apparently it's hard to come by so I'm buying up all I can tomorrow!!

@David A Lentine opened this tonight with dinner. Wow, thank you so much! This is Sequoia Grove at its best. It's just perfect now, all the tannins have fully integrated with flavors of cassis, blackberry, with some cherry and herb at the finish. Brilliantly balanced. So happy to have tried this wine before it lost anything. Great example (and reminder) of why I love Sequoia Grove. — 8 years ago

☄️ Yes please. The missus says "Makes me want to eat and drink all night", I say floral, velvety and perfectly balanced. Either way, 👌. — 7 years ago
