Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 90-92 pts, Robert Parker - The 2002 Charbono Tofanelli Vineyard boasts an extravagantly fruity nose revealing distinctive blueberry scents intermixed with new saddle leather, licorice, and compost. Dense, medium to full-bodied, and fun to drink, it should age nicely for 7-8 years. NOTE: This is an estimated price per bottle.Tel. (707) 963-0940; Fax (707) 963-8683 - Dec 2003

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - 90 pts, Steve Tanzer - ($28) Saturated bright ruby. Highly aromatic nose combines blueberry, violet, licorice, tree bark and mint, lifted by spicy oak. Dense, juicy and firm-edged, with lively berry and licorice flavors. Not particularly pliant but not hard either. Snappy, sweet, juicy wine, showing much more fruit than the 2001 version. - May/June 2004
