2006 Estate Charbono
Estate grown on the Summers "Villa Andriana" Vineyard in Calistoga, this rare varietal thought to have originated between the borders of Southeastern France and Northwestern Italy. Now only found growing in about 80 acres of California, half of that in Calistoga. Charbono thrives in the northern end of the Napa Valley. A lovely wine of bold color and bright fruit.

Selected as one SF Chronicle Magazine's Top 100 Wines. "...Just 85 acres of Charbono are planted in California...Summers Estate vineyard produces the most Charbono in the state, including the fruit for this lively effort...engaging dusty, floral scents, crushed raspberry and blueberry...that reminds you why it's so pleasing with food."
