2008 Trinchero Estate Reds, 6-bottle Horizontal, Wood Case

Trinchero Family Estates was started in 1947, when brothers John and Mario Trinchero purchased Sutter Home Winery in St. Helena. Since then more recent generations of the family have expanded the business by acquiring numerous brands in the U.S. and Australia, including Ménage a Trois, Napa Cellars and Trinchero Napa Valley. The family’s umbrella business also includes rum and tequila brands. Trinchero Napa Valley is the family’s prestige wine label, and it is mostly single-vineyard wines from the family’s Napa vineyards. Trinchero Napa Valley makes Bordeaux style wines and grows Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. The M. Trinchero label is in honor of Mario Trinchero, and the estate considers its M. Trinchero wines to be "ultra premium."

Rutherford AVA is just north of the Oakville AVA in the heart of Napa Valley, and it is equally distinguished. It is home to Beaulieu Vineyard and inglenook, arguably Napa Valley’s most historically influential wineries. Inglenook started making in wine in the late 19th century, and Beaulieu Vineyards was producing by the first years of the 20th century. BV founder Georges de Latour is particularly esteemed for having recruited Andre Tchelistcheff, a renowned research oenologist, to move from France to Napa Valley in 1938 and run BV’s winemaking. The legendary Tchelistcheff brought European winemaking techniques to Napa Valley and vastly improved wine quality. Other Rutherford winemakers followed his lead. Today there are 5,000 vineyard acres in Rutherford and many acclaimed producers. The famous Silverado Trail with its exclusive, limited production wineries, runs partly through Rutherford AVA. Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignons are characterized by supple tannins, richness, notes of cherry and plum, depth and the ability to age for several decades. Besides Cabernet Sauvignon the AVA also grows Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel. It received its AVA designation in 1994.
