The nose grabs you with currant and spice. Woodsy — 8 years ago
First time I've had a charbono. I had good fruit and balance; good all by itself. Reminded me of another wine, but I couldn't place it. Have to get another to figure it out — 9 years ago
Great charbono, 13.9% alcohol with great balance. Somehow they kept the tannins in check, this went great with prime sirloin steaks on the grill. — 10 years ago
Baked cherry pie, cranberries, sour cherries, smoke. A bit fruit forward but bright tangy acidity balances the palate. Good with anything tomato & basil. — 8 years ago
First ever Charbono and still figuring out the best way to classify and remember it. A definite smooth finish but still medium to medium high tannins, which can easily be from a young wine. Flavors on the nose were not as complex as I expected but definitely complex on the palate - but of cherry, leather, smoke and dark berries. — 8 years ago
Spiced plum, fruit leather, and black licorice. — 9 years ago
Really nice and tons of layers. — 9 years ago
Bright, sour cherry flavors, good earthy intensity. Good work with old vines of a variety that's hard to find these days. 12.1% alc — 10 years ago

My first Charbono. I've waited all this time. It was well worth the wait. I'm blown away! #pearlwineco — 7 years ago
