Sequoia Grove 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Sequoia Grove /

The winery’s larger-production blend of several vineyard sources, given 20 months in American oak, this wine opens in pungent earth, soy and mushroom, reminiscent of a beef bouillon or beef stew. Big tannins surround the fruit, accented in black licorice and black coffee before finishing lean.
