Graziano Vineyard Charbono 2018

This wine is sourced from one of Mendocino’s hidden treasures–the Graziano Family vineyard. The vineyard was first planted in the 1940s by the Graziano family on the recommendation of pioneering Mendocino County winemaker, John Parducci; and Charbono did so well here, the family expanded the block in the 1960s. Aromas of dark fruit, notably cassis, foreshadow what is a very deep and brooding wine. On the palate, blue fruits are complemented by rich blackberries and hints of savory spices, like clove and allspice.
