The long, warm 2007 growing season produced a gorgeous Charnu Cabernet Sauvignon. It has ripe fruit flavors and a smooth finish.
The 2007 Charnu is ready to be enjoyed now, but will also benefit from time in the cellar.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine, May 2011
95Classic 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 to ride out the next decade.

Winemaker Tasting Notes
The long, warm 2007 growing season produced a gorgeous Charnu Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose is rich with ripe, red fruits and butter cream. The entry is commanding, layered with flavors of cherry compote and blackberry. Soft oak notes give warmth and texture to this dense wine, while relaxed tannins elongate its smooth finish. The 2007 Charnu is ready to be enjoyed now, but will also benefit from time in the cellar.
