Not the Chardonnay, but the Roussanne. I have been holding this for a bit and it is absolutely a pleasant surprise. Nice, bright acidity with beautiful red apple, white peach and nice, bright acidity. This wine is truly lovey. I could drink this all the tine and be very happy.

Great balance between butter, wood, and citrus. Great Chardonnay.

The best compliment that I can give Truchard Chardonnay is that is actually tastes like - wait for it - Chardonnay. And that's why it's always one of the best $30 Chards out there

Less than 5,000 cases made of this Carneros gem. Barrel fermented in French oak and aged for 10 mos on lees.
Delicious and rich with a clean lift from the acidity. Great way to kick off Independence Day weekend!

Flavors of pineapple and tropical fruits. Creamy malo without being overpowering. Nicely balanced acidity paired well with pan-seared halibut.
