Sequoia Grove 2007 Rutherford Bench Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $65
A stunningly beautiful Cabernet, made from the estate vineyard of all five classic Bordeaux varieties. Softly tannic and dry, it shows lush flavors of green olives, black cherries, anise and smoky oak that swirl into a long, impressive finish. Drinkable now for sheer beauty, it will develop over the next decade.

Sequoia Grove 2006 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $85
A tremendous Cabernet, authoritative and exciting. Shows a great structure of acidity and tannins, with a cedar and sweet tobacco earthiness. Yet it’s also explosive in blackberries, black cherries, red and black currants and anise liqueur. A real accomplishment, and a great compliment to the high-altitude Stagecoach Vineyard, which straddles the Atlas Peak and…

Sequoia Grove 2008 Cambium Red (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $125
An extraordinary wine, this is one of the best offerings from Sequoia Grove. Everything is pitch-perfect: Its fine, ripe fruit flavors of blackberry, blueberry and black currant are balanced with earthy, herbal tones; its tannins are soft and rich, with a sharp acidity and a tasteful overlay of oak. Delicious as it is now, you’ll want to cellar this wine for at…

Sequoia Grove 1997 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $42
Toasty oak is wrapped around some complex elements: blackberry, violets, tar, cedar, coffee and game. Big, very dark fruit, tobacco and toast flavors soar, and the mouthfeel is intense yet not weighty. Fine structure on the finish, with black-currant fruit and tar, coffee and cocoa accents. Great potential; hold two to five years at least.

Sequoia Grove 1999 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- $55
An extraordinary Napa Cabernet, the essence of everything right from Rutherford in a great vintage. Ripe, intense flavors of black currants persist all the way through the long finish, supported by toasty oak. The tannins are a delight, rich and plush. Feels a bit soft, in the modern style, but is absolutely delicious. Editors’ Choice. —S.H.

Sequoia Grove 2007 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
The vineyard is up on Atlas Peak, in the eastern part of Napa Valley, and is source to increasingly great Cabernets. Hard mountain tannins and incredibly concentrated blackberry fruit mark the wine, which is blended with a little Cabernet Franc that brings softness and cherries. Stunningly beautiful now, but a wine you want to try over the next decade to see how it…

Sequoia Grove 2008 Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
A very fine Cabernet, rich, ripe and complex, from a very expensive neighborhood. The wine shows its pedigree in the refined, silky and satiny texture. Its flavors are simply gorgeous, with mineral-infused black currant notes. But the wine is still young and tannic. Give this cellar candidate 6–8 years, and it could go well beyond that.

Sequoia Grove 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- $55
This is one California Cab that hasn’t gone over the top, beautifully balancing dried spices and vanilla with bold berry and cassis fruit. It’s medium-bodied, its tannins and alcohol in check, finishing long and soft. Drink now–2012.
