Jo Anne Truchard at the 2006 Hospice du Rhone in Paso Robles, Calif.
The Truchard Estate Vineyard is located in the Carneros region of the Napa Valley. It is 270 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 “micro-climates” well suited for wine-growing. Cabernet Sauvignon is planted in several different sites -on steep, southwestern-facing hillsides. The vines range from 3 to 25 years old, and produce wines that are deep in color, dominated by lush flavors of plum, berry, and spice. Cabernet Franc, grown in the “Highlands” area of the vineyard, is blended in to provide additional softness, structure, and complexity
