Nose

Beguiling aromas of sweet red cherry and berry fruit are bracketed by high notes of briar
and spice with cocoa, tobacco and a hint of tar rounding out the nose.

Palate

The palate, supports rich, intense fruit and
spice flavors complemented by firm tannins and a round, opulent mouthfeel. Medium-bodied but beautifully balanced,
the complex flavors linger throughout the long finish.

Growing Conditions

We are pleased to present Charmstone, a wine created to honor our vineyard and cellar crews whose
passion and hard work make this and other wines in the Pine Ridge portfolio possible. Charmstone is comprised
of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. These Napa Valley grown grapes were blended in the
Bordeaux style for structure, complexity and ageability.

Fruit was harvested from select vineyards in a handful of the Napa Valley’s most renowned appellations,
including Oakville, Rutherford, Stags Leap and Carneros. Known for their distinct terroir, each of these
appellations imparts its unique characteristics in the fruit, contributing to Charmstone’s overall complexity.

Bottling

Bottled without fining in May 2006.

Winemaking

The wine underwent an extended maceration period of up to 27 days to develop supple
tannins.

Aging

Aged for 17 months in heavily toasted, chateau-style French oak barrels, primarily coopered by
Sylvain of Libourne.
