Robert Foley Vineyards
Napa Valley Charbono
Bright, medium ruby color with pronounced aromas of raspberry, blackberry, violet, black currant, mocha, forest floor, red plum, black cherry. Crisp acidity and surprisingly (based on the gorgeous, huge bouquet) it is only 12.9% abv. With this bright acidity, medium body, elegantly mingled black fruit and red fruit flavors and a silky texture on the palate, this is a delightful food wine. What a terrific wine!

Mar 24th, 2022Heck of a 3rd Friday to kick off the holidays!
Underripe blackberry, leather, dark cocoa dusted dates, green pepper and inky on the nose. Very Bordeaux like on the palate. Currant, plum and old black cherry. Clay finish. No rush.
