Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe juicy berry fruits, herbs & sweet spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry & black currant with vanilla oak and earthy notes. Well balanced, fine tannins medium+ finish ending with fruit, vanilla oak notes and spice! Nice now and short-term aging potential.

This is a nice big cab that's great for that special dinner. Great complement to beef and lamb. Full fruit and ripe tannins. If you're a cigar lover, it'll make you want one after your meal along with your favorite mellow after dinner drink. Superb.

Magnum of 1993, in great shape, Plum, aniseed, the perfect faint echo of cocoa. Who was the winemaker for this? Moi. A sweet wedding gift from the Truchards.

Made in a decidedly European style, lean with nice aromas of leather and cedar.

If it's a California Cabernet you seek, look somewhere else. If it's a structured Bordeaux-style Cabernet you're looking for, then carry on. Kind of tastes like a lighter version of a dominus.

Blackberry, black cherry, cassis, raspberry, eucalyptus, mossy earth, oak and hints of dried sage. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

One of the only places in Napa to make a single varietal Roussanne.
