Truchard Carneros Cabernet Sauvignon has a complex nose of plum, cherry and cassis; with a touch of cedar wood and vanilla. There are flavours of raspberry, redcurrant and plum jam. Ripe tannins provide a lengthy finish.

Truchard Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine that is renowned for its bold and rich taste profile. Its grapes are grown in the rolling hills of the Carneros region in Napa Valley, California. The wine is aged for two years in French oak barrels, which imparts a smooth and velvety texture. The dark garnet red color reflects the wine's complex flavors of black currant, black cherry, and dark chocolate, with subtle hints of vanilla and spice. This full-bodied wine pairs perfectly with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. It is best enjoyed after being decanted for at least an hour to allow the flavors to fully develop.

Tony and Jo Ann Truchard both grew up in Texas and had plans to spend most of their lives there. They both graduated from the University of Texas in Austin. Jo Ann was teaching school in Austin and Tony was getting ready to start Medical School at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas when they met at a country dance in Jo Ann's hometown of La Grange, Texas. They married in 1964. After graduating from Southwestern, Tony completed his internship through the Army at Walter Reed Memorial and his residency at Brooke General Hospital in San Antonio.

Tony then received orders to report to Korea for a two year tour; however, a very pregnant Jo Ann changed all of that by slipping on a grape in the grocery store in San Antonio and breaking her knee. Four days later, sporting a full leg cast, Jo Ann delivered their fourth baby and their lives changed. Instead of Korea, the Army decided to send Tony to Northern California to serve as the medical commander for a base near the Nevada border.

Very versatile with many food groups, from a nice tomato-based pasta dish to a wonderful filet mignon.
