Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon | Sequoia Grove Winery

2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Our 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning wine that captivates with its enticing aromas of cherries, pomegranate, pluots, and bramble. On the first sip, you’ll experience a smooth, lush entry that unfolds into a rich palate of dry herbs and juicy black raspberries. This well-structured, medium-to-full-bodied wine delivers an elegant, mouthwatering finish with notes of blackberry jam, black pepper, and tobacco, complemented by refined cocoa powder tannins from its Rutherford fruit core.

The 2022 vintage is one of exceptional quality. The growing season began with some heavy rains in late 2021, though the beginning of 2022 was very dry. With a cool spring, crop loads were slightly smaller than normal due to the drought conditions. The early part of the growing season was near ideal, with excellent spring and summer weather. A classic Labor Day heat wave pushed concentration and propelled the vintage to one of the most condensed with one of the earliest starts and finishes for Sequoia Grove. The 2022 vintage should prove to be a rich vintage of lush fruit, great complexity, and balance.

2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with notes of blackberry cobbler, plum, and black currant, followed by warm aromatics of fresh tobacco, tamarind, hints of vanilla, and caramelized black fruit. On the palate, this Cabernet is silky and lively, with medium-to-full bodied texture and weight, and flavors of raspberry, black cherry, black plum, and soft red and black stone fruit. Rich tannin, texture, and weight lead to an inviting mouthfeel. The finish is mouthwatering and lengthy with cherry and hints of dark, powdery cocoa, classic in Rutherford-based wines.

The 2021 vintage was of excellent quality, especially for well-selected sites. With very little rain during winter, the drought had a large impact on vineyards. Canopies and berries were small across all vineyard sites, lending to a concentration of aromas and flavors in the finished wines. The cooler spring delayed shoot growth in some vineyards and growers had to be careful not to over-correct and push vines for more growth later. The mild summer and light crop helped speed up ripening. In addition, the hills did not cool off at night, which expedited ripening ahead of the valley floor in some cases. The harvest started early and ended early and abruptly, with over 10 inches of rain falling shortly after the last grapes were picked in mid-October.

2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This classically rich Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is red burgundy in color with aromas of black cherry and creamy vanilla, followed by blueberry, blackberry, cherry cola, and grilled meat. On the palate, this Cabernet Sauvignon is seamless and elegant with silky tannins, intense flavors of cherry and floral notes, and a hint of burnt sugar and roasted nuts. Drink now or age 10 or more years.

The 2019 vintage was an excellent vintage with tonnage levels close to average. The year began with heavy rains in winter, followed by a few spring showers. Summer weather was moderate and ideal. Outside of anticipated heat spikes in August and September, conditions during harvest were also mild and lovely. As a result, hang times were long enough to achieve perfect phenolic ripeness while maintaining color and acidity. The 2019 vintage is high quality, with a signature of freshness, generosity of fruit, and lush tannins.
