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.
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
