Awards
2010 Dallas Morning News Wine Competition - GOLD MEDAL
Robert Parker, December 2009 - 89 Points “An impressive offering in the over-priced Pinot Noir sweepstakes is the 2008 Pinot Noir Truchard Vineyard. A heck of a wine for the price, it reveals sexy notes of pomegranate, plum, cherry, and strawberry fruit intermixed with forest floor and earth. There is not a hard edge to be found in this soft, round, seductive, medium-bodied Pinot Noir. Enjoy it over the next several years.” Wine Spectator, October 2009 "X Winery's 2008 Truchard Vineyard...fall(s) into the good value range." |
