Zinfandel is such a common sight north of the Bay up in wine country, one would assume that it grows everywhere. But in the Napa Valley side of Carneros, there is in fact just one 100% Carneros-grown Zinfandel made. It’s grown and made by Truchard. Praised by fellow grape growers and sommeliers alike, Truchard are considered masters of Carneros grape growing. Their wines reveal the region’s fog-driven terroir, low yields, and signature earthy spices. They craft wines that are precise in varietal character, age-worthy, and don’t have three scoops of sugar and oak chips under the hood. Honest to goodness stuff that sells out very quickly.
