Sequoia Grove Vineyards

Sequoia Grove is a California wine producer located in Rutherford, one of Napa Valley's most prestigious sub-regions. The winery was founded in 1979 and has been owned by the Kopf family since 2002. It is best known for its varietal Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines from around Napa Valley.

The 10-hectare (24-acre) estate is located on the famous Rutherford bench and is planted to 7ha (18 acres) of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for 85 percent of the plantings on the estate's gravelly loam soils.

In 2006, Sequoia Grove gained control of the 20-ha (50-acre) Tonella Ranch Vineyard in Rutherford, planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon with some Cabernet Franc and Merlot. On top of this, Sequoia Grove sources fruit from vineyard-specific sites in the Napa Valley including Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford, Lamoreaux Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District, Stagecoach Vineyard in Atlas Peak, Healy in St. Helena, and Henry Brothers on Howell Mountain. Its Chardonnay grapes come from Carneros.

Sequoia makes a wide range of wines, with the core being the Napa Valley range. The top wine of this category and the estate's flagship, Cambium, is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from the very best of the winery's lots, aged in French oak for 22 months, then another two years in bottle before release. It includes fruit from top sub-regions in Napa Valley including Atlas Peak, Calistoga, Howell Mountain, and Rutherford.
