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.
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.

Aromas of toasted almond, tropical pineapple, and brioche dominate the nose followed by hints of tarragon, and eucalyptus flower. On the palate are flavors of bright lemon curd, candied walnuts, and an intriguing mineral component. This Chardonnay is beautifully creamy with a luscious bright acidity on the finish, reminiscent of a lemon tart.
The 2020 vintage was especially phenomenal for Chardonnay. A moderate winter rainfall and warm and dry spring set the stage for an excellent growing season with average canopies. During the summer, Napa Valley experienced cool mornings and hot days. This accelerated ripening led to Chardonnay with optimal fruit flavors and fresh acidity. All Chardonnay vineyards were harvested in August, making 2020 an unusually early vintage for Sequoia Grove.
