Sequoia Grove Description
Very pale gold in color, this classic Chardonnay is the ideal balance of Old World restraint with California sunshine. The aromas and flavors are delicate, with citrus, floral and mineral notes on a wine of fresh acidity and medium body.
This is a very food-friendly wine and will go well with most dishes, from appetizers to soups to main courses. Try it with a just-picked spring lettuce and fresh herb salad, or with a mature, delicate brie cheese.
Daniel Hernandez-Brun for K&D: 93 Points
The Sequoia Grove Napa Valley Chardonnay is excellent in 2021. It is a pale gold in color, with a bouquet that leaps from the glass. Notes of hazelnut, vanilla, coconut, and honeycrisp apple intermingle with hints of pear, orange zest, and stone fruit. The medium to full-bodied palate is bright and zesty, with creamy white fruit notes and toasty oak that persist into the dry finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
This warm, broad and easygoing wine pillows subtle poached pears, butter and oak-spice flavors on a soft texture and full body. The wine is very smooth, almost sweet, and delicious.
James Suckling: 91 Points
All barrel fermented in about one third new oak, the wine stays in wood on the lees for 12 months. Made from the 35-year-old Haire vineyard in Carneros and the Cunat vineyard in Oak Knoll, the wine is silky smooth, medium-bodied, yet fresh and vibrant. Crisp green apples, white peaches and subtle oak spices on a balanced, lively frame. Drink or hold.
