Decanted with a venturi. Very good but agree it is a bit fruit forward. 2013 in Dec 2016 — 7 years ago

Deep black-purple hues in the glass. Intense highly concentrated nose flashing peet moss, black fruit jam jar and a cedar edge. Ran through a Venturi sipped 15min later. Tannins are chewy and big. Wine builds slow, front of the palate hints coco dusted chocolates and dried plum. Back of the palate is the show, cigar box, singed wood accents and leather. Mouth dry finish that rolls and tickles presenting fruit, minerals and herbaceous aftertaste. Fun young, but will do better with some time in the bottle. I couldn't help myself... — 8 years ago

Dry farmed by the Venturi family, which intensified the complexity of the fruit. Pairs perfectly with olive oil from the farm 😍😍 — 5 years ago

Blackberry with hints of raspberry and and black cherry. Very nice ... should have decanted rather than Venturi. Would benefit from opening up a bit more. Finesse, mineral complexity balanced acidity and serious length. Andrew Will wines are fabulous!! — 7 years ago

Took @Paul T advice and laid this lay down for about a month, ran through Venturi. Some what light on the nose-traces elements of black fruits and alcohol. Jammy profile of that same black fruits on the palate. Slightly one dimensional with the tannins and acidity in great harmony. Soft finish that goes...despite its simplicity this is so good! — 7 years ago

As expected, heavy sediment stuck to the bottle. Two hour decant ran through Venturi. Jet black in the glass, cinnamon, chalk and green veggies on the nose- no signs of age. Black currant, French roast and earth fills out the palette. Amazed that the tannins and acidity are in harmony. Distinct, lingering finish that goes on and never ends with smoke being the highlight. The time is now. @Jennifer Saxby — 8 years ago

Dark ruby color in the glass. Venturi decanted...Slight wild game hint on the nose, roses and minerals. Light body with full flavors of black cherry, cola and spice. Perfect acidity and tannins round out a spiced smooth finish. @Failla Wines — 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

Had the "back" version last night, thought it quite good, saw the "red" version today at Costco, also quite good. surprisingly using a "venturi" aireator seemed to help even this less expensive bottle. — 9 years ago

Fully matured at this point. True classic Oakville Cab. Ran through Venturi and really opened up, decant is a must. Quintessential Napa/Oakville aged nose of Luxurdo Cherries, black olives, blackberry and plowed field. Tannins are nearly undetectable yet still balanced acidity and fruit on the palate. Mouth of sweet pipe tobacco, cassis and cedar. Soft finish that comes than goes. Cellared since release. Drink em if you got em. — 7 years ago

Really glad I did a little venturi. Full of fruit, nice mouthfeel. This is a delicious Merlot/Cab Franc treat! Probably should drink within 2-3 years. — 8 years ago

2014--used Venturi and decanted 1 hour ( not ready at 40 min ). Superb, appears to be great vintage. Raspberry, Rainier Cherry, floral and quite spicy (cinnamon, clove). Beautiful long smooth finish. — 8 years ago

This is one of the smoothest deep reds I've tried. Love it poured through my Venturi.

Better than the first time I tried this. Not sure if it has matured a bit or if the Venturi aerated it more. Nice stuff. — 9 years ago
