title: Sequoia Grove 1997 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: 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.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Reserve
