The Truchard Estate Vineyard is located in the Carneros region of the NapaValley. It is 400 acres of hills and valleys, which contain a variety of soils: clay, shale, sandstone, limestone, volcanic ash and rock.The combination of terrain, geology, and marine moderated temperatures, provides ideal conditions for wine-growing.Cabernet Franc is planted in several different sites - on steep southwest-facing hillsides. The vines range from 24 to 38 years old, and produce wines that are deep in color, dominated by lush flavors of plum, berry, and spice.Cabernet Sauvignon which grows on adjacent blocks is blended in to provide firmness, complexity, and added ageability.

A floral nose of wild blueberry, black cherry, and cassis; with a hint of cedar, tobacco, and sweet vanilla.The mouth is layered with bright flavors of currants, plum jam, and red berries. Ripe tannins fill the palate and provide a finish of dried red fruit and spice.
