California Connoisseurs Guide recently wrote, “There are not many wineries in Northern California with such a long and distinguished history of making quality wines at affordable prices as Truchard.” That’s certainly the reputation of the winery that I’ve always known. Tony Truchard has been at this for over 40 years, and he’s every bit as experimental as he was when he first started. His thirst for making great wines is what has propelled his winery in Carneros successfully for decades.
The small, family owned winery started when the army-trained Truchard decided to plant grapes in 1974. He started out growing the grapes for their neighbors at Carneros Creek, but quickly gained notoriety for the exceptional fruit which earned them Nickel & Nickel, Frog’s Leap, Cain and Robert Mondavi as clients as well.
Eventually, like many of the great winegrowers, Tony decided to bottle his own wine, deploying the skills he learned from some of his famous winemaker friends along the way. By the late 1980’s he was bottling his own Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Syrah. He found an immediate niche as the affordable over-deliver winery in Carneros and never relented that title. With 7 “Winery of the Year” Awards from Wine & Spirits Magazine in the past 27 years, Truchard remains a Napa Valley staple.

This wine remains one of the finest values in the Napa Valley and a cool-climate example of the variety, to boot. With great opening aromas of blackberry, clove and dried herb, the lifted, balanced flavors follow suit, showing plenty of freshness and length around a well-integrated and elegant core.

The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
