This is the first time I've had a Charbono, and I am impressed! I see on wine searcher that the varietal remains on only 100 acres of land in California. If true, that seems a shame to me after tasting this wine.
Extremely dark wine. Muted nose of dark berry and cedar. The flavor is of very dark berry, dark wood, earthy tones, and black pepper. Strong tannin.
My impression is that this is as dark or darker than Petit Sirah, and of similar flavor, although more elegant.
