Sequoia Grove
Rutherford Bench Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
PnP. Dark cherries, chocolate, and cedar on the nose. Similar on the palate with decent alcohol. A little stringy but very nice.

Jun 7th, 2024Above average but lots of dark fruit. Preferring this less than in the past. Thought some of the fruit would have mellowed to earthiness with the aging but no. Not as good if a value as it once was. Sad.

Feb 11th, 2023This was awesome! PnP’d. Very balanced wine. Medium plus depth. Integrated dark blue and black fruit with oak, vanilla, and cedar. Somewhat similar to Pontet Canet. Lovely silky texture and medium plus finish. Exactly how Napa Cab should taste!

Oct 24th, 2021Solid and definitely needed the aerator but aging well. Will be excellent in a few years. Deep and earthy. Lots of dark fruit.
