Decanter
A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 2% Petite Verdot, 3% Malbec. Most of the fruit is sourced from the Rutherford AVA, with over half of that from the winery's estate vineyards. Aged 18 months in 55% new French oak. Quite a wonderfully bold, dark-fruited Cabernet, with espresso bean nuances, scorched earth and expensive toasty oak with a muscular structure, with powerful tannins, infused with an unsweetened cocoa powder character, and elegant tobacco spices, giving them a savoury character that also has a kind of freshness factor from ripeness and an iron-like mineral presence. Super polished with great length.

Wine Enthusiast
So toasty, espresso-like, dense and savory in aromas, then graphite, black currant, black olive and cocoa flavors on a firmly tannic texture. Very taut, structured, lithe and muscular, with iron, blackberries, tobacco and dark chocolate. Drinkable now and best from 2030.

Wine Advocate
One of the more consistent, affordable Napa Valley Cabs, Sequoia Grove has hit the mark with its 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon, crafting a terrific value. Sourced primarily from the winery's two Rutherford vineyards, it offers up hints of violets, blackcurrants and black olives on the nose, while the medium- to full-bodied palate features ample concentration, silky, tight-grained tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish.
