Calistoga Charbono
Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, USA
Huge fruity nose, totally opaque dark purple, tastes of red fruit - particularly raspberry with a hint of strawberry. Bold but not overwhelming tannins on the finish. Delicious.

Very deep, rich and pretty heavy wine. Great with food, from Calistoga (August Briggs tasting room)

Aug 20th, 2018Rich and tannic. An unusual grape. Charbono is the same as Douce Noir. Very dark robe.

Deep dense fruit with little acidity, quite an interesting bottle and unique grape. Worth a try for something different.
