A Rich History in Rutherford

Founded in 1979, Sequoia Grove Winery has become a cornerstone of Napa Valley's wine culture, nestled in the heart of Rutherford. The winery, housed in a charming 110-year-old barn, offers a picturesque setting that perfectly complements the elegance of its wines. With a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to quality, Sequoia Grove has established itself as a family-owned gem in an area celebrated for its remarkable terroir.
The winery's founders, the McGah family, envisioned a place where the natural beauty of the land could inspire exceptional winemaking. Surrounded by majestic Sequoia trees, the estate embodies the essence of Napa Valley, where the interplay of climate and soil creates the perfect conditions for growing world-class grape varieties, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon.
Over the years, Sequoia Grove has cultivated a reputation for producing wines that highlight balance, finesse, and structure. This dedication to quality is evident in every bottle, reflecting the meticulous care that goes into each stage of the winemaking process.
Crafting Exceptional Wines
At Sequoia Grove Winery, the focus is squarely on Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal that thrives in the Napa Valley's diverse microclimates. The winery's commitment to excellence begins in the vineyard, where sustainable farming practices are employed to ensure the health of the land and the quality of the grapes. The result is a portfolio of wines that are not only expressive but also true to their Rutherford origins.
The winemaking team, led by expert vintners, utilizes traditional techniques alongside modern innovations to create wines that embody elegance and complexity. Each vintage undergoes careful aging in French oak barrels, allowing the wines to develop layers of flavor while maintaining their hallmark finesse. The Cabernet Sauvignon, in particular, is celebrated for its rich fruit profile, velvety tannins, and a finish that lingers, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.
In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, Sequoia Grove produces a range of other varietals, including Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Each wine is crafted with the same level of dedication and care, ensuring that every bottle tells a story of its terroir and the passion behind it.
