Truchard Vineyards was established in 1974, when Tony and Jo Ann Truchard came to the Carneros region of the Napa Valley and purchased a 20 acre parcel of land. They transformed what was an abandoned prune orchard into a vineyard and began selling the fruit to a local winery. Through hard work and dedication they quickly developed a reputation as one of the outstanding vineyards in Carneros. Over the past 31 years the Truchard Estate Vineyard has grown to 400 acres, of which 270 acres are planted. The Truchards now sell grapes to more than 20 premiere Napa Valley wineries.

Crane Brothers
Napa Valley Wines are all estate grown, single vineyard, and very small
production from the family owned Crane Ranch Vineyard. Third generation Napa
Valley natives Michael and Robert Crane and winemaker Al Perry have made great
wines together since the 2001 vintage. Located in The Oak Knoll District of the
Napa Valley, the 9 acre, organically and sustainably farmed Crane Ranch
Vineyard is planted on bench land and hillside, above the valley floor. The
unique microclimate of warm sunny days and cool breezy evenings, along with our
custom hand farming, allow our Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit
Verdot grapes to develop intense flavor, color, and aroma.
Our richly flavored,
full bodied wines are hand crafted and aged only in French oak barrels.
Production is limited to less than 400 cases annually of each of our four
wines: Syrah, Merlot, Hillside Block Cabernet Sauvignon and Crane Brothers
Brodatious.
