Sequoia Grove

Profile: Along with fine fruit, there really are giant sequoia trees growing on the aptly-named Sequoia Grove estate in the Rutherford region of Napa Valley. Founded in 1980, this family-owned operation produces a wide range of wines, from single vineyard estate bottlings to inexpensive varietal and blended wines with a broader Napa Valley appellation.
