Truchard 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Carneros)
- $35
For the money, Cabernet doesn’t get any better than this. And it comes from Carneros of all places. Dark, minty and chocolaty, with a richness that carries into and through the blackberry palate. It’s got plenty of girth and size, but also perfect balance and grace. Great fruit, great winemaking, great wine.

Truchard 2002 Syrah (Carneros)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
Boasts the ideal combination of fruit and spice—a lively blend of blackberry and black pepper aromas that comes across as brandied spicecake with dried fruit on the palate, yet without any excess alcohol. The full-bodied, lush mouthfeel moves seamlessly into a long, peppery finish. Bravo!

Truchard 1996 Merlot (Carneros)
- $26
A rich and silky Merlot with ripe raspberry fruit dusted with chocolate and a whiff of black pepper. Long, elegant finish. A wine for today, but you might want to save some and check it out in five years.

Truchard 2008 Syrah (Carneros)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
The best Truchard Syrah in years. It’s full-bodied and spicy, with tremendous flavors of blackberries, cassis, smoked meats, pepper and sandalwood. A little rustic, and a perfect accompaniment for grilled steak.

Truchard 1997 Zinfandel (Carneros)
- $20
Zinfandel from Carneros? True, and only Truchard makes a Zin entirely from Carneros grapes. And it’s a good thing they do, because it is utterly delicious with a rush of black cherry, plum and raspberry fruit, nicely rounded by mint and black pepper. An outstanding Zinfandel.

Truchard 2006 Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $35
Very dry and silky, this elegant exposition of Carneros Pinot Noir will pair well with lamb, salmon, filet or even a Sunday brunch of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. It’s a subtle wine, with earth-infused cherry, tobacco, pomegranate and spice flavors. Now through 2012.

Truchard 2005 Roussanne (Carneros)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Packs plenty of powerful complexity into a dry wine that’s a pretty good price. Made in full-Burgundian style, with barrel fermentation and lees aging, it’s a rich, creamy wine packed with spicy tropical fruit and honeysuckle flavors. Try as an interesting alternative to an upscale Chardonnay.

Truchard 2000 Roussanne (Carneros)
- $28
Crisp, lively and elegant, with peaches, pears, apricots, orange and spice flavors all beautifully integrated. Long and bright to the very end.
