Red Barn Red red table wine
This wine is a blend of Zinfandel and Tempernillo. It is a very drinkable, easy tasting red that goes well with pizza, pasta dishes, steak, chicken and many other dishes. We believe that this is a everyday, every meal wine.
We produce this red table wine, with its own label, for Zano's Italian restaurant, which is located on Donner Pass Road, next to the Jerky Junction caboose.
And now, Jax at the Tracks in downtown Truckee has this available under its own label!
Our red blend is chianti in style and charcteristic, showcasing a ruby red hue. Well balanced, fruity and structured, this blend is a perfect combination of light heartedness and bold undertaking. A strong, fruity flavor, with hints of balsamic vinegar and pepper.

Russ Jones was born in Yosemite National Park, where he spent most of his childhood, until his family moved to Squaw Valley. Russ learned how to ski in Yosemite, but he learned how to race in Squaw. He spent his high school career racing and loving the snow. He and his wife met on the high school race team, where Russ dominated the field. He graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Enology and Viticulture (winemaking and grape growing). He and his wife traveled through Oregon, Washington and Paso Robles after graduation, where he worked at several wineries and perfected the Pinot Noir process. They then moved back to Truckee to start a family, and that is when he decided to make his own wine, using the natural ideal temperatures and humidity of Tahoe to make the wine distinctively unique. His artistic and analytical mind ensures that the science and art in winemaking is used to its potential. With this perfect blending of art and science, Truckee River Winery's wines have exceptional flavors and aromas.
