2016 | Sequoia Grove | Cabernet Sauvignon (Magnum)

On the nose this wine has notes of blackberries, leather, cedar, peppercorn, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and racy with dark plum fruit and strawberries that are supported by toasted nuts and cocoa powder.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A barrel sample blended of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple-black in color and features open-knit notions of crushed blueberries, black cherries and red and black currants with suggestions of pencil shavings and tilled soil. Medium to full bodied, the palate gives a great concentration of earth-laced black fruits with a pleasantly chewy finish.

• Wine Enthusiast: Rich and approachable, this wine has a velvety concentration of plum and dark berry alongside a touch of herbaceousness. With a soft midpalate, it soothes its way to a finish of firm tannins and lasting oak.

Producer Information

Sequoia Grove is a California wine producer located in Rutherford, one of Napa Valley's most prestigious sub-regions. The winery was founded in 1979 and has been owned by the Kopf family since 2002. It is best known for its varietal Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines from around Napa Valley. The 10 hectare (24 acre) estate is located on the famous Rutherford bench and is planted to 7ha (18 acres) of vines. Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for 85-percent of the plantings on the estate's gravelly loam soils. Other varieties include Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The 20 ha (50-acre) Tonella Ranch Vineyard in Rutherford is also included within the company's holdings, planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon with some Cabernet Franc and Merlot. On top of this, Sequoia Grove sources fruit from vineyard-specific sites in the Napa Valley including Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford, Lamoreaux Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District, Stagecoach Vineyard in Atlas Peak, Healy in St. Helena, and Henry Brothers on Howell Mountain. Sequoia produces a small range of wines, with the core being the Napa Valley range. The top wine of this category and the estate's flagship, Cambium, is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from the very best of the winery's lots, aged in French oak for 22 months, then another two years in bottle before release. It includes fruit from top sub-regions in Napa Valley including Atlas Peak, Calistoga, Howell Mountain, and Rutherford.
