Review:

Typical Charbonneau aromas of sweet aromatic pipe tobacco, leather and cigar box integrate with sweet, rich black cherry fruit. Elegant oak from new French barrels plays in with strong enticing notes of black cherry, spice and mocha. Ripe sweet cherry fruit is in perfect proportion with new French oak, acidity, alcohol and tannin. The wine has great texture with soft mature tannins; the finish is generous and long. - the winery

2005 Vintage Tasting Notes

The 2005 vintage was fabulous for red wines in Washington State. I currently find the nose to be more generous than in 2003. The flavor profile in this wine expresses the Charbonneau character perfectly with subtle herb and tobacco nuances coupled with gorgeous fruit that allows this Charbonneau red wine to show a very distinct sense of place. I expect the cherry and cassis fruit to become even more pronounced as this wine develops. This wine should age well for ten years with proper cellaring. - the winery
