Rare and exotic, it's one of Sequoia Grove Winemaker Molly Hill's favorites for its intense wild-berry and floral aromas. The Healy Clone, which exudes chocolate notes, comes from a vineyard next to the Spottswoode winery in St. Helena. Clones 685 and 412 were planted per the suggestion of Andrew Walker, a renowned professor in the Viticulture and Enology Department at the University of California, Davis. : PHOTO COURTESY OF SEQUOIA GROVE SEQUOIA GROVE WINERY, ONE OF NAPA VALLEY'S PREMIER PRODUCERS, DOUBLES DOWN ON ITS FUTURE
