title: Truchard 2000 AVA's: Carneros/Napa Valley Zinfandel (California)
description: A big wine bursting with the wildest of brambly berry flavors, and a peppery, herbal hint of earth and wood. The tannins are smooth and dusty. It's a nice bit of winemaking, but a little too big and uncontrolled for its britches. —S.H.
