description: Not known as much for Merlot as for Cabernet, Sequoia Grove's bottling is rich, ripe and delicious, quite sumptuous in cherry, plum, cassis and mocha fruit flavors that finish dry. It feels like a wine you can age over the short term, because the tannins and acids are ample and the wine is a little untogether. Try holding until early in '07.
variety: Merlot
