About TRUSS Wines
TRUSS Wines is a boutique Paso Robles producer founded in 2012, taking its name from the structural engineering truss, the triangular framework that distributes weight and stress evenly across a structure. The name is both a statement of winemaking philosophy (wines built on a balanced structural framework of fruit, acid, and tannin) and a nod to the precision and intentionality that the winemaking team brings to each production decision.
The TRUSS program focuses on Paso Robles Rhône varieties, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and white Rhône blends, sourced from Westside vineyard sites where calcareous soils and marine influence from the Pacific deliver the mineral backbone and natural acidity that the TRUSS structural philosophy requires. The wines are built for balance and longevity rather than immediate impact, with tannin architecture and acidity levels that suggest optimal drinking windows of five to twelve years from vintage.
Tastings are by appointment at $30, with an intimate format that allows for genuine engagement with the winemaking philosophy and the specific vineyard sources that define each bottling. Production is small and mailing list access is the primary channel for the most limited releases.
"TRUSS wines are built the way the name suggests, deliberately, with structural intent, and designed to carry weight gracefully over time rather than impress immediately."
For collectors who prioritize structure and longevity in their Paso Robles Rhône selections, TRUSS Wines represents one of the region's most thoughtfully constructed and consistent small-production labels.
