The nose on it is very Napa, even a touch jammy, but the palate is a sultry smoke show of black cherries, tart raspberries, a touch of eucalyptus and soft, sticky tannins.

To the nose: really jammy reds. Strawberry, cherry. Light body. But got a nice zip to it. Almost extinct varietal. No longer in existence in France. Only in Napa. Fun quirky wine. Try it with a pulled pork or some BBQ. Got similar qualities of a Zinfandel. It's got some age on it. Ready to drink now!

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
