BAUMBACH  WINES

2006 Charbono

Type of Grape:  Charbono is a black grape of obscure origins although it is classically a member of the Italian family of     winegrapes.   The Sierra Foothills produce a particularly bold grape with intense, inky color, modest tannins and dramatic aromas.  
 
Description of Wine: Dark, opaque, purple color with a distinctive aroma of Damson plums accented by nuances of tar, black pepper and old leather characterize this ageable wine. A full-bodied palate with pronounced but well integrated tannins give it a rich texture and long finish. The soft tannins of Charbono (78%) are melded with the crisp acids of Nebbiolo (17%) and the thick tannins of  Aglianico (5%).  In California Charbono enjoys near cult status with red wine aficionados.
