Charbono – 2016; Bending Branch Winery; Comfort, Texas

You may not come across this varietal often, but when you do it can be super delicious. Sourced from the Sierra Foothills AVA, this vintage of Charbono from Bending Branch was harvested from Zentner Vineyards. Upon that first pour, you will likely notice some intense violet aromas followed by spicey notes.  Hints of rich cherries and subtle leather are there as well. Swish and swirl for another sip, and those rich plum flavors will certainly excite your wine senses.  It has a nice round feel to it for this medium bodied red wine, as well. There are some noteworthy bragging rights to add as this was a 2021 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition gold medal winner. Pair well, feast well, enjoy well! A stunning wine that is still drinking very well.
