Charbono - what?

Lola in Napa valley

Opened the 2022 Kivelstadt a few weeks ago. It did not give a lot of pleasure. Not sure if time will help, only bought two bottles, will bury the other for a while.

I’m a big fan. Have tried some but not a ton.

Summers in Calistoga was good. I understand it was sold to Brasswood. I haven’t tried the brasswood one.

Can confirm. In 2023, I bought three 1971 Inglenook Charbono as birth year wines for a friend. We drank them between 2023 and 2024. One of them was quite good (with air), the second one was OK, and the third was… not great but still had some interest.
