ABOUT MICHAEL TRUJILLO, Winemaker
Growing up on a ranch, Michael Trujillo worked acres of hay, barley and vegetables along with sheep and cattle on land tethered to his family for generations. His grandparents were early century homesteaders of Spanish descent who settled in the Rocky Mountain state of Colorado, where they raised their children in a rich, agricultural life. From a young age, Michael learned the value and reward of working the land: “I feel like I’ve always been in motion, branding cows and driving hay trucks since the age of four. Ranch work taught me old-time craft skills, the love of tinkering with farm equipment and how to grow crops in uncertain weather, all of which prepared me for cultivating grapes and the process of winemaking.”
Michael discovered his passion for winemaking in the early 1980s during a spring break from his college studies as an engineer. On a road trip to California, he stayed with a family friend who had a small winery in Napa Valley. It was a lifechanging visit, as Michael began to work alongside Jim Allen and his brother Steve in the planting of Sequoia Grove’s vineyard on the Rutherford Bench.
For his namesake wine, Michael blends grapes from several of the finest vineyards in Napa Valley and works closely with the growers in developing cultivation practices that yield notable fruit year after year. Trujillo Cabernet Sauvignon is the realization of Michael’s history, knowledge and experience, bringing his keen love of the vineyard together with more than 34 years of winemaking proficiency.
When Michael launched Trujillo Wines, the inaugural 2011 vintage sold out quickly, inspiring him to create a second label showcasing varietal blends. Named in honor of his daughter, Madelynne wines are approachable upon release.
Trujillo’s quaint, award-winning (and dog-friendly!) tasting room is located in the heart of St. Helena. Visitors have the chance to taste a range of exclusive white wine blends as well as limited production vineyard designate wines and Reserve Cabernets. In addition to Trujillo Wines, Michael serves as the Director of Winemaking and President of Sequoia Grove Winery. His wines consistently earn praise and winemaking medals, and have developed an enthusiastic following.

Inglenook Estate Wines | Winery | Vineyard, Rutherford, South Australia Wine Guide - WBTL
inglenookThis historic estate and trademark has been re-established with wines made under the former Rubicon Estate banner now being made under the Inglenook banner by Francis Ford Coppola. This began as a small operation when film director Coppola first became involved in winegrowing, but there is now a sizeable output through the Francis Coppola Winery in the Sonoma Valley at Healdsburg. An extensive range is released there. Under the Sofia label you’ll find approachable sparklers, the Rosso & Bianco label is for everyday reds and whites, while the Diamond Series is a range of red and white varietals sourced throughout the state and generally taking the California appellation. These are straightfoward, reliable, fruit-driven wines and well priced. The Directors Cut series is a step up with a small range of wines from Sonoma County and there is an additional range under the Francis Coppola Reserve label. Two further reds are also made, a Bordeaux blend Archimedes and Eleanor which combines an interesting mix of Zinfandel, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah from Rutherford and Alexander Valley sources. It is though the top Inglenook labels that really impress. As well as the wines listed below there is a small production of RC Reserve Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. Zinfandel Edizione Pennino is rich and powerful with dense, brambly fruit. At the pinnacle there are two flagship wines. Blancaneaux is a blend of Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier. Rubicon is a very structured, firm and powerful meritage red aged for 26 months in French oak and requires at least 6–7 years’ patience. It is firmly established as one of Napa’s great reds. (DM)
Rutherford Hill 2011 Barrel Select Red Blend, Napa Valley
Right now this 5 year old is soft as silk and seductively complex. The pedigree alone should put this in the super premium price category but lucky for all of us, it's a healthy cut below that and an amazing value.
Autumn Color in Napa Wine Country Vineyards
Fall colors are rich and for many days, unlike New England's colors that are just a few days as they move southward. It is mustard in the spring, but fall's colors are now supreme and should be seen by all coming from afar.

101 Days' Growth Of Dawn Redwood With The Groasis Waterboxx From Dew Harvest
The Dawn Redwood is a living fossil, one of the fastest growing trees on Earth, but only rediscovered in the 1940s. This tree is graceful, evergreen, and will grow in most of the continental United States - if it can be kept constantly watered during its first crucial year. The Waterboxx does this without any effort from the planter.
