Longtime fan of Truchard. Surprised no ones posted a tasing note since ‘21. I guess I’m a lone wolf in holding this to try until now. Glad I did! Smooth with black fruits and no hard edges. Low alcohol content made it a nice cab to enjoy on an evening that was moderate in temperature. Distinctive in nature by this maker makes it fun to go back to after a time of absence.

Alcohol and a tad sour on the nose. The alcohol isn’t as prominent on the entry, but the sourness is there on the finish. There is some surprising complexity to it for its price, but guessing the winemaker was given second rate fruit as the flavours just aren’t there. In short, talented winemaker, lousy fruit - overall decent enough for the price.

Maybe the best QPR Napa Cab I’ve ever had. Gave it one hour open in the bottle before pouring it through an aerator. Great fruit with a long finish. Enjoy!

Had it out of the blue and smooth with nice legs but not overpowering alcohol content. Really great with any food, including pesto chicken sandwich.

Lovely silky wine. Oak, vanilla, berries, dark chocolate notes.
