Truchard Chardonnay Carneros California White Wine 750 mL

91 Rating Wine Enthusiast for 2018 vintage
“This wine opens in effusive jasmine, pear and pineapple—strong aromas that lead to a similarly memorable palate of juicy apple and mango. The oak adds a tilt of saltiness that appeals and broadens the complexity and length of firm, focused acidity.” VIRGINIE BOONE

Winery Tasting Notes
“Tasting Notes: Aromas of quince, pineapple, and honeysuckle; with hints of nutmeg,
fig, and toasted oak. The mouth is clean and bright; filled with flavors of green apple,
pear, and lemon. Firm acidity provides a crisp finish of citrus, mineral, and spice.
WINERY INFO
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 nearly 40 years. Through their hard work and devotion to this unique property, they helped pioneer grape growing in the Carneros region of Napa. In 1989, the Truchards established a winery and began producing wines using only their estate-grown fruit.

The vines at Truchard Vineyards benefit not only from the cooling fog and moderate temperatures of Carneros, but are also influenced by the estate’s unique topography, consisting of rolling hills, steep ravines, and numerous valleys. In addition, they are positioned across a wide variety of soil types including clay, shale, sandstone, lava rock, and volcanic ash. These factors allow the Truchards to grow diverse grape varieties, each planted with its optimal growing conditions in mind and minimal intervention.
