Many years ago, not far from the Eucalyptus Groves in the Napa Valley,
Hope Trueblood and her family created a micro-production winery
that has focused on making tiny quantities of top quality wine.
By using the best grapes, the best barrels, and putting quality first,
Trueblood winery™ has succeeded in making wine that stands out –
attracting the attention of not just mortal wine snobs, but those
who seek "True Blood" or as others call it, "The Blood of the Vine®!"
A battle amongst immortals ensued, and the Vampire clan behind Vampire Vineyards® acquired the brand and worked out a deal with the Trueblood
family. Today, Vampire Vineyards® is proud to announce its newest
member to its family of brands, TRUEBLOOD™.
TRUEBLOOD Napa Cabernet:
(VINTAGE SOLD OUT!)
Our Cabernet comes from the hot new Coombsville area near the town of Napa. The 2002 Vintage provided
perfectly ripe grapes, and terrific
flavors. We spared no expense and
aged the wine for nearly 30 months
in 50% new French oak barrels.
This extra time allows the flavors, aromas and tannins to integrate
into a balanced wine with both
richness and finesse.
The aromas capture the classic
Cabernet cherry and cassis, but
there are also hints of dark fruit,
and sweet cigar box. In the mouth
a broad palate of fruit, chocolate,
and subtle oak blend elegantly
to a long finish.
TRUEBLOOD Napa Syrah:
The inky black and blue color of the 2004 Trueblood Napa Valley Syrah
is an indication of its power.
This wine will bruise your soul
with its palate crushing cherry,
plum smoke and spice.
Rich toasty oak and silky smooth
tannins soften the blow enough for you take another sip. 220 cases produced.
