Score 92/100 · Drink 2022-2035, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, May 2022

Sourced from the Frediani Vineyard in Calistoga, there are just 62 cases of Relic's 2019 Charbono. An almost forgotten grape in Napa, this version was made in older oak yet is inky in color, with layers of black cherries, blackberries and plums. It's full-bodied, rich and intense, with plenty of substance, yet the tannins are ripe and supple, yielding an almost melted-chocolate finish—long, velvety and mouthwatering, with perhaps just a touch of warmth.

Baked plums, blueberries, violets, and iron notes all emerge from the 2019 Charbono Frediani Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, elegant, if not pretty, expression of this variety that has loads to love. It’s drinking nicely today and should last for a decade. This is 100% Charbono and comes from vines planted in the 1940s. It was raised in once used French oak.
