Item Description

Truchard Vineyards is a small, family-owned winery in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. Proprietors Tony and Jo Ann Truchard have managed a successful vineyard and grown exceptional grapes for over 30 years. Through their hard work and devotion to this unique property, they helped pioneer grape growing in the Carneros. In 1989, the Truchards established a winery and began producing wines using only their estate-grown fruit.

Truchard wines are produced with the vineyard in mind. They always will consider ourselves “a big vineyard and a small winery”. The wines are hand-crafted using traditional winemaking techniques and exemplify the high quality fruit of the Truchard Estate Vineyard. They are truly: “wines with a sense of place”.

The 3 liter of Truchard 04 Merlot is a great example of how wines age in the Carneros region. The cool climate and the clay soils produce an outstanding wine that ages so well with our natural acidity. It is ready to enjoy now or you could save it for at least another 5 years.
