The winery's founders, the McGah family, envisioned a place where the natural beauty of the land could inspire exceptional winemaking.

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.

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.
