Truchard Vineyards, Pinot Noir, Carneros, Napa Valley 2023

Rich aromas of black plum, ripe cherries, and rhubarb; with hints of pomegranate, tea,
and earth. The mouth is silky; with flavors of red currants, cranberry, and sweet vanilla.
Firm acidity and delicate tannins focus the palate and provide a lingering finish of spice
and red fruit. 

2023 was basically a perfect vintage!  Near record winter rains finally put an end to
years of drought.  Ideal springtime conditions allowed the vines to set an above
average crop.  Very mild temperatures throughout the growing season resulted in one
of the latest and longest harvests in the history of the Napa Valley.  The wines of
2023 have exceptional depth, intensity, finesse, and balance.
