Sequoia Grove Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
A classic, powerful Cabernet fom Napa Valley's famed Rutherford Bench! Seqouia Grove is one of those great small family-run wineries in the prime Cabernet area of Napa Valley that has managed to remain under the radar. One of the best Cabs we've tasted in this price range, its full of the big tannins and a healthy dose of American Oak that Silver Oak fans love. The grapes come from well-regarded vineyards in the Napa Valley and Seqouia Grove's own estate vineyards in Rutherford. 93 Points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a dark, big, deeply flavored Cabernet whose tannic structure strongly suggests mid- to long-term aging. Bone dry, it has flashy flavors of black currants, dark chocolate and cedar. Very fine. Best 2013–2018 if not longer in a proper cellar."

This was really good! PnP. Dark red color. Woody nose with black fruit. Same on the palate with medium depth. Paired nicely with Mexican food. Medium finish. Could have been more balanced between the cedar and oak and fruit, but was impressed. 93.5

PnP. Dark purple color. Lots of wood on the nose (oak, cedar, etc.) and dark cherries. Similar on the palate with some oak, chlorine, and candied elements. Tannins are integrated with a nice texture. Medium finish. I think this is better than their single vineyard cabs that are 2-3xs the price!

Solid wine! PnP. Dark purple color. Nose has oak and dark cherry. Oak continues to dominate on the palate with blackberry and cedar tones. Solid finish. Surprised modestly to the upside, but did follow a poor wine.
