Description
Sequoia Grove sources fruit from the best vineyard sites in Napa Valley, such as Healy Vineyard, located at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains on Madrona Avenue in St. Helena. This jewel of a vineyard - with closely spaced vines competing for nutrients and soil - gives small, tiny berries that produce a concentrated, flavorful wine full of boysenberry and blackberry aromas. To elevate the lusciousness of the palate, this wine is aging in a new Taransaud barrel for 22 months.
