Tofanelli Family 2012 Estate Charbono (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Charbono
Winery: Tofanelli Family / Estate

A majority varietal, a dying breed in the Napa Valley, this also has 5% Petite Sirah. The combination is dense and syrupy in strawberry and a tightness of oak. Time will soften its edges, and there’s already a softness to the tannins that delights, the finish light and lean. Cellar through 2017.
