Highlights

• This Old Block Pinot Noir is the oldest block of Pinot Noir on the Truchard estate vineyard
• These vines were planted in 1974 on St. George rootstock with a heritage Martini Clone
• We are able to take full advantage of the clay soils, rolling hills and cooler temperatures
• Your resulting wine exhibits an intensity, texture and complexity that only mature vines can deliver

Description

In 1973, cool and foggy weather - along with a few cows and sheep - dominated the southern part of Napa Valley, destined to become the Los Carneros nested appellation. Tony Truchard, along with a few other pioneers, saw potential in this relatively undiscovered and unplanted area. With a few Pinot Noir cuttings given to him by a neighbor, Francis Mahoney, and a passion for farming, Tony Truchard planted his first vines in 1974. Today, we are offering a taste made exclusively from those very vines which were planted over 45 years ago and are now producing low yields of very small and intense berries.
