2011 | Charnu Winery | Cabernet Sauvignon Premiere

Rich and satisfying. Classic Napa Cabernet, with perfectly ripened blackberry, cherry and cassis fruit, nicely elaborated by sweet, smoky oak, and framed in ripe, smooth tannins. Really a lovely wine, with the balanced equilibrium Full body, with round and soft tannins and a juicy finish.

Producer Information

Charnu was founded by the husband wife team of Bob and Louise Dye with their first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon released in 2004. The Dye’s had been visiting the Napa Valley since the 1980′s and about 10 years ago took the plunge and moved to St. Helena. When you are already interested in wine and take further steps to immerse yourself into the wine industry you will soon find yourselves on a slippery slope. Both Bob and Louise have become very involved in the Napa wine industry not only with their own label but also with Appellation St. Helena. As expected all Charnu’s grapes are sourced from within this appellation. Their focus is on producing a premium Cabernet Sauvignon made from 100% varietal fruit from two vineyards just south of the town of St. Helena. These vineyards have been locked up in long term contracts and they source from the same vineyard blocks each year. Currently production is very limited and the wine is only available direct through their mailing list and website. The Dye’s have a small cave at their home for short term wine storage as well as offering select tasting for serious wine enthusiasts or wine club members.
