The wine

A complex nose of ripe plum, boysenberry and cassis, with hints of cedar and vanilla.

Cabernet in Carneros is unusual, the region being known for the Burgundian varieties, and it ripens here only on the warmer hillside sites. The result is leaner and more savoury than Napa Valley Cabernet. The Truchard family have farmed in Carneros since 1974 and grow twelve different varieties across the estate, thanks to a mix of clay, shale and volcanic soils.

Truchard

View all Truchard wines

Truchard is a family estate in Carneros, the cool southern gateway to Napa Valley where fog and bay breezes temper the California sun. Tony and Jo Ann Truchard planted their first vines here in the 1970s and remain celebrated growers as much as winemakers.

Farming their own hillside vineyards gives the family a rare command of quality, and their cool Carneros home lends the wines a freshness and balance that sets them apart from richer Napa styles.

The Carneros Chardonnay is elegant and finely poised, the Cabernet Sauvignon supple and detailed rather than blockbuster, and the Roussanne a distinctive, textured white from a Rhône grape rarely seen here.

Understated, food-friendly and quietly classy, Truchard is Napa with restraint. Discover the graceful side of Carneros.
