Tasting Notes
Bold yet nuanced, The Charmer utilizes fruit from three different vineyards creating a powerful wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon found in the hills above Rutherford gives The Charmer its structure and a fruit-forward focus along with notes of cassis and black cherry. Cabernet Franc from Calistoga expresses perfumy aromatics and balanced herb, while the Merlot from Oak Knoll delivers fully ripe berries and earth layered over a long finish. Bottled on July 14, 2022. 62 cases total.

2021 The Charmer
The JCB Charmer is a new wine, with the 2021 being the second vintage. It is a blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot and has a deep garnet-purple color. It swans out of the glass with flamboyant notes of redcurrant jelly, kirsch, black raspberries, and fresh plums, plus suggestions of red roses and iron-rich loam, plus a touch of pencil shavings. Full-bodied, the palate is rich, yet bright and impactful, with bags of lively red and black fruits, finishing with a minerally lift
