  • 2020 Tondre Barrel Aged Chardonnay
    Santa Lucia Highlands
    Expand
    Grapes from the Tondre Grapefield are barrel fermented and aged for over 1 year in new French oak. This wine develops into a crisp and smooth white wine with aromas of honeydew, Asian pear and orange blossom. Tasting notes Produced in a more traditional french fashion, this oaked Chardonnay balances ML fermentation with oak aging to create a crisp and smooth white wine with aromas of honeydew, light toast and creme fraiche. On the palate, our 2019 Chardonnay displays a harmonious blend of asian pair, orange blossom and hints of starfruit, finishing with a hint of pie crust.
    Suggested Retail Price: $38.00
  • 2022 Rose of Pinot Noir
    Santa Lucia Highlands
    Expand
    A fun, and light hearted premium Rose made from Tondre Pinot Noir grapes. Production Process: Grapes are harvested in the beginning of September. They are hand picked and hand sorted at the vineyard. Grapes are destemmed and softly crushed. The must is cold soaked with its skins for 12-24 hours for a soft pink color extraction. Using the Saignee method, we extract our Rose of Pinot Noir and then begin a second, 24 hour cold soak. Fermentation begins at a controlled temperature. The wine is then transferred to stainless steel where aging, clarification and body stability concludes.
    Suggested Retail Price: $36.00
  • 2021 Tondre Pinot Noir
    Santa Lucia Highlands
    Expand
    An unfined and unfiltered, coastal Pinot Noir that has full aromas of cassis and sweet spice with a hint of fresh earth. The mid-palate is rich in dark cherry and delicately toasted french oak. A complex finish with spice and deep, dark fruit. Our flagship wine goes with all events, friends, family, and of course a hearty steak. Tasting notes Medium ruby and deep purple hue with full aromas of cassis and sweet spice with a hint of fresh earth. The palate is rich, nearly full-bodied, with ripe black fruit, subtle spice and vanilla. Toasted oak, leather, and dark cherry is sustained on the midpalate. The finish is complex with balanced acidity and mouth-filling tannins that balance the generous fruit intensity of this wine nicely.
    Suggested Retail Price: $56.00

Description

Established in 1989. Truckee River Winery is California's highest and coldest winery.
It all started 34 years ago in the garage of two Truckee locals. For 9 years, this ski lover and his wife, both UC Davis graduates, made great wine for their friends and family in the Truckee/Tahoe community before deciding to expand. They moved the winery into a two story barn on the river where they could make 1000 cases with the help of their daughter and friends. In 2009 they expanded production to 2,500 cases annually and expanded varietals with the help of their daughter, Katy Carroll Jones. They specialize in single vineyard varietals and are known through out the area as producing high quality vintages year after year.
