Sequoia Grove, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Sep 11, 2013

By Michael Apstein

The 2010 Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent example of why Napa Valley Cabernet stands with the best wines in the world.  Redolent with black fruit offset by smoke and minerality, this sturdy wine has marvelous grace and poise for such concentration.  Though polished tannins are immediately apparent, the panoply of flavors expand in the glass.  It’s a joy to taste, but the real treat is to drink it while savoring juicy lamb chops at dinner.
