OnThEdge 2007 Frediani Vineyard Charbono (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Frediani Vineyard
Variety: Charbono California
Winery: OnThEdge / Napa Valley

An engaging wine from an old variety, hardly grown anymore in California. It’s soft and dense in tannins, with spicy flavors of cherries and a bitter, earthy taste that brings to mind carob. Try as an interesting alternative to Zinfandel.
