Trujillo Wines, founded by winemaker Michael Trujillo, is located in Napa Valley. Michael's journey into winemaking began unexpectedly after he moved to California during college. He initially studied architectural engineering but fell in love with the Napa region and its wine culture. After working at Sequoia Grove winery and learning from renowned winemaker André Tchelistcheff, he launched Trujillo Wines in 2011, focusing on blending valley floor and mountain fruit. Trujillo Wines primarily produces red wines, with an accompanying label, Madelynn, featuring lighter styles like rosé and white wines. The winery's offerings include unique blends and single vineyard bottlings, showcasing a commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Notable wines include the 2021 Madelyn Rosé and the 2021 Chardonnay, both praised for their vibrant flavors and balanced profiles. Visitors can taste Trujillo Wines at the Depot Wine Train Collective in Calistoga, where a cozy atmosphere allows for affordable wine flights and engaging discussions with wine educators. The location also features outdoor tastings and live music on weekends, enhancing the visitor experience.
