Butter, But Make It Cabernet
JaM is John and Michele Truchard — second-generation Napa Valley vintners. John Anthony Truchard founded the company in 2003 with John Anthony Vineyards, and after a decade of ultra-premium Napa winemaking, the Truchards built the Butter line to be approachable: wines "that could be enjoyed anytime." The Cabernet follows the flagship Chardonnay's playbook — ripe fruit, a creamy-rich texture, and oak that reads as vanilla rather than wood. Brand copy sums it up: "Tastes like: a cozy night in. Fresh-picked berries. A backyard BBQ." It took Silver at the 2025 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and Bronze at 2025 TEXSOM. Among JaM Cellars wines, the Butter Cab is the bold red answer to the famous Butter Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
Built for a backyard BBQ — grilled ribeye, burgers, or short ribs — and generous enough to stand up to bold tomato sauces. Serve at cellar temperature, around 60–65°F.
