Tasting note
The 2015 Frediani Vineyard Charbono should suggest dark cherry, mulberry and a rustic herbal scent. Oakville fruit is expected to bring a dense, firm palate, where assertive tannins and fresh acidity preserve shape beneath the ripe flavor. The projected drinking period has ended, so bottle condition matters more than the original profile. If still sound, expect softened fruit, a drier feel and a lingering note of earth and spice.
