The winery sitsThe winery sits beneath a grove of 150-year-old giant sequoia trees on Highway 29 in Rutherford — a setting that makes the Sequoia Grove tasting experience unlike any other in the Napa Valley, combining the grandeur of ancient redwood trees with the Rutherford Dust terroir character that André Tchelistcheff identified as Napa Valley's most distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon environment.
✓
Jim Allen establishedJim Allen established the estate in 1978 with a conviction that the Rutherford benchland's specific alluvial soils — the legendary Rutherford Dust of gravelly loam and clay that produces the mineral, earthy complexity that distinguishes Rutherford Cabernet from every other Napa Valley sub-appellation — could produce single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon of individual and compelling character.
