This velvety, opulent wine is rich in baked cherry and blackberry aromas, with dark chocolate and crème de cassis flavors. Layers of fruit and oak spices fill the palate, shaped gently by fine-grained tannins. Best from 2026–2034.

Nicely tight, elegant, firm with tannins and alive with tasty red and black fruits. While velvety and approachable, this is a good vintage to cellar for several years for more complexity to develop. Great balance, freshness and linearity propel it through a lingering finish.

An instant Napa Classic with dusty minerals, black cherry and blue fruit, herbs, and dark chocolate notes. Medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins, spiced plums, and plenty of upfront appeal with the tension to deliver the goods for another 5-7 years. Winemaker Jesse Fox joined Sequoia Grove in 2022 after a long stint at Amici Cellars and, before that, lengthy stays at Ram's Gate Winery and Harlan's Napa Valley Reserve. Fox blended all 160 lots of the 2021 red wines, and he did a tremendous job, hitting all the right marks, leaving plenty of room for fine-tuning in the coming years. Fox did more racking and blended earlier than was typical of his predecessor. He believes adequate racking is the best natural filtration process so the wines do not go through any additional filtering.

A smoking value, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon has loads of up-front cassis and blackberry fruit to go with a layered, medium to full-bodied, juicy style that's already hard to resist. With some classic chocolate, spice, and leafy herb notes, ripe tannins, and a good finish, it's well worth seeking out. It will evolve for a solid 7-8 years or more.

While Sequoia Grove's regular Cabernet Sauvignon may rarely win awards, it's been a consistent, reliable performer over the years, and it nearly always represents a good value. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon features hints of maple syrup, then bold black cherries and cassis. It's full-bodied and supple, easygoing but with enough concentration and structure to be more than just a quaffer. You could do a lot worse with a grilled ribeye, whether at home or at your local steakhouse.
