Our former 2018 harvest intern and current Hospitality & Special Projects specialist, Pablo Suarez AKA @thewinemaverick gets you up close and personal in this video on the barrel washing and wine racking process going on in our cave right now.

2/17: Grabbed a barrel thief and pulled wine from both of my barrels. These samples will go to the lab to be tested for Malolactic Fermentation. If my suspicions are correct, Malo should be just about finished on both of these wines. #Winemaking #Winemaker #AmateurWineMaker #Wine

Absolutely loving all the snowy vineyard photos of our friends and neighbors up in the high elevation mountain AVAs of Napa. As for us down in #Carneros at @Truchard, no snow here, but still beautiful! #TruchardVineyards #TruchardTrue #NapaValley

All topped up! Halfway through Malolactic fermentation. Looking, smelling and tasting good!

Came across this “Vineyard bleeding” during my hike through the vineyards yesterday. Here’s a quick explanation on why a vineyard bleeds after pruning.

We are excited to introduce the first of our Winter wine club releases: Our 2016 Estate Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of Carneros. This is the first of 4 other wines being released to our members this February. #Carneros #NapaValley #Truchard #TruchardTrue

[The Wine Maverick @TheWineMaverick]

Assessing vintage variation on our library wines. The Cab Francs were complete opposites, 2010 was pronounced on the nose and restrained on the palette, 2011 had a muted bouquet, hefty mouth feel and great spice notes. 😍🔥 #Truchard #Carneros #NapaValley #Wine #Vino
