Stunning! Creamy mouthful of rich fruit. Pineapple, peach,fig. Rich and balanced from start to finish. Mid palate delights your taste buds and the finish begs for more. At least 94 points and 2 cases.
While the Carneros is cooler than other Napa Valley appellations, the grapes for Truchard's Cab are planted on warmer, south-facing slopes for maximum sun exposure. This means the grapes get the sun they need, but mature more slowly, resulting in a big wine with a solid core of acidity that suggests that it will age quite well. Plum, currant and black cherry fruit are supported by sage notes and gritty tannins. While not a plush style, this solid Cab is drinkable now with decanting, but a nap in your cellar will allow the acidity and tannins to integrate and recede behind the fruit a bit more.
A complex nose wild blueberry, cherry, and pomegranate; with a touch of cedar, spice, and subtle mint. The mouth is smooth - layered with rich flavors of blackberry, plum jam, red currants, and sweet vanilla. Firm tannins fill the palate and provide an elegant finish of dried red fruits.
