Folk Machine Suisun Valley Charbono 2023

$2199
Use code 10OFF to get 10% off 12+ bottles

Charbono is one of California's rarest grapes - barely a handful of acres exist in the state. Folk Machine sources from a two-acre block in Suisun Valley that was grafted over from Merlot just years before the first vintage. Despite Suisun's warmth, Charbono ripens slowly and holds acid hard, so the wine reads dark in the glass but drinks light on the palate. Kenny includes about 20 percent whole cluster in the native ferment and ages in only neutral barrels, so the fruit and the freshness stay front and center.
