The palate is gently luxurious

all wrapped in a chiseled

There is a velvety firmness to the mid-palate before moving onto an elongated finish that grows in complexity and amplitude as the expression resonates harmoniously

Charbonniere, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vintage:2008 The Falstaff is a wineBright red. High pitched aromas of red berries, cinnamon and mace, enhanced by a suave floral quality and a hint of orange zest. Distinctly energetic and pure, accented by lively red fruit flavors and strong mineral spine. Refreshingly brisk on the finish, which features tangy red berry and spice notes. This wine shows the best aspects of the vintage. Josh Raynolds
