About Trujillo Wines

Michael Trujillo grew up on a 3,000-acre family farm in southern Colorado and was studying architectural engineering when a 1982 spring break trip to visit a family friend's small Napa Valley winery changed the course of his life. He never returned to finish his degree, instead staying to help plant vineyards, eventually working alongside legendary consultant André Tchelistcheff for 13 years while studying winemaking formally at UC Davis.

Trujillo went on to lead Sequoia Grove as president and director of winemaking, stepping down from that role in January 2020 to focus on his own namesake label, first released in 2011. His Cabernet Sauvignon blends historic Rutherford fruit from Morisoli Vineyard, bordering Scarecrow, with mountain grapes from Howell Mountain, and the label itself carries a family crest combining his Colorado roots with his adopted Napa Valley home.

Michael Trujillo's namesake label, born from a 1982 spring-break visit that turned an engineering student into a 13-year student of André Tchelistcheff.

What Wino Notion Loved
Visit pending, based on winery profile & reputation
A spring break trip that changed everything,Trujillo was studying architectural engineering when a 1982 visit to a family friend's Napa Valley winery convinced him never to finish his degree.
Thirteen years studying under a legend,Trujillo spent over a decade learning directly from André Tchelistcheff, one of Napa Valley's most influential winemakers, while also formally studying at UC Davis.
A label with a personal family crest,the Trujillo Wines label features a crest blending a Colorado ram and California bear, Colorado blue columbine flowers honoring his late wife, and notches marking each decade of his winemaking career.
