Truss Wines Score Big
We are pleased to share that three of our current releases have earned high ratings from Wine Spectator, while our Raw Materials red blend is making noise in Wine Review Online.
Our 2024 Chardonnay Spanish Springs Vineyard (SLO Coast) scored 93 points while being praised for its notes of “toast, spice and crushed rock minerality.” Additionally, the 2024 Chardonnay Derbyshire Vineyard (SLO Coast) earned 92 points and high marks for its “good intensity” and “fresh acidity.” The 2024 Pinot Noir Derbyshire Vineyard (SLO Coast) also scored 92 points, with the review remarking that “The gently toasted finish gives this wine a flattering persona.”
Lastly, critic Norm Roby gave 94 points to our estate-grown 2024 Raw Materials Rhône-style blend (50% Mourvèdre, 45% Grenache, 5% Syrah) in Wine Review Online, calling it “fascinating” while highlighting Truss as an up-and-comer as a westside Paso Robles winery.
Paso Robles Winery Launches “Unhurried” Tasting Room
Truss Wines has traditionally been pretty modern when it comes to its wine practices, but as of Thursday, it’s offering guests a different experience - one that’s less rushed and more“classic California.”
Located at Willow Creek District Estate, which sits along Arbor Road on the west side of Paso Robles, Truss Wines’ tasting room previously featured contemporary elements like standing bars.
A New Chapter for Legacy Estate Vineyard
“We are proud to write a new chapter for this land and its wines,” said Owner-Winemaker Kyle Jury. “The roots of our vineyard extend back nearly 25 years in Paso Robles, and our goal is to blend heritage and stewardship with reinvention and originality.”
We’re rigorous in our vineyard and cellar practices, but we also leave room for the art of it all, too.”
Unhurried New Tasting Room in Paso Robles
The new space is also functionally designed around the Truss ethos of service, creating an environment where you feel welcome, inspired and transported.
The estate now also specializes in Rhône variety wines, which will roll out this spring and summer. Guests can now visit the renovated tasting space, flights costing $20, although that fee is waived with the purchase of three wine bottles.
Reservations aren't required but are recommended. Hours are Thursday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Truss Wines Opens New Tasting Room
Estate tasting room features vineyard and wetland pond views. TRUSS wines has introduced a new tasting space at its estate in the Paso Robles Willow Creek District.
The winery said the redesigned tasting room combines its estate wines with an updated hospitality experience featuring indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the vineyard and a wetland pond.
New Tasting Room Space in West Side Paso Robles
The roots of the 26-acre Truss estate date back to 2002, when vines were first planted by NFL star and winemaker Terry Hoage. Hoage’s TH Estate Winery was one of the early pioneers of the modern Rhône variety movement in Paso Robles, earning some of the region’s highest critical accolades.
After retiring from the industry, Hoage and his wife Jennifer entrusted the estate to Jury and his partners, confident that they were the best choice to steward the legacy of the property.
Bespoke Winery Champions Classic California Hospitality
While founded upon modern winemaking and contemporary ambiance, the Truss tasting room marks a throwback to the unhurried hospitality of classic California wine tasting.
The reimagined space foregoes the traditional standing bar in avor of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating with views of the vineyard and signature wetland pond.
"We set out to amplify the heritage of this estate while showcasing the wines and landscape in newand fresh ways." said Owner-Winemaker Kyle Jury.
