Relic was born in 2001 with the mission to make world-class wines that have ultimate complexity, aromatics, nuance and personality from some of the best sites in Napa Valley and the Sonoma Coast.
Another first for us, and another ode to the immigrant families who have helped make Napa what it is today: Charbono. Only four vineyards harboring Charbono remain in Napa Valley, and Jim Frediani’s vineyard is one of them, with vines dating back to the 1940’s. In these well-drained, up valley soils, Charbono thrives and retains a beautiful balance between its ripeness and acidity. In our inaugural bottling, look for aromatics of spice cake, mission fig, blackberry syrup, wintergreen and ripest strawberry. The wine is deep and rich, while also being fresh and vibrant, with flavors echoing the palate but with added power and persistence. A clean, long finish, featuring great acidity and length, begs another sip.
