Ferrari Carano Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2007
Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon comes from mountain-grown fruit in Alexander Valley. Vibrant aromatics of cassis, toasty cedar, licorice, wild berry and spice delight the senses, while velvety flavors of blackberry, smoked currant and mocha generously fill the palate. Lingering sweet notes of vanilla bean and caramel round out the finish.

Bouquet

this wine boasts dark, concentrated aromas of blackberry syrup, dried currant, black cherry and caramel surround flavors of warm berry pie, butterscotch and earth.

Flavour

This wine has exquisite depth with loamy nuances while lingering, silky tannins providing textural proof of this wine's ageability.

Pairing

PreVail West Face pairs well with braised, roasted or barbecued meats such as chicken, red meat, fish lamb or pork. Pastas, stews or well-aged medium and strong-flavored cheeses such as Tellagio also pair nicely.

Harvest Overall was a very good year with ideal weather conditions for the vines. Spring produced great set and average rainfall leading to normal to above normal yields. Consistently warm temperatures during the summer months without any heat spikes or rain events allowed for longer "hang time", leading to fully ripe flavors.
Vinification West Face is a blend of Clone 8 Cabernet Sauvignon along with Syrah Clone 470 and the Durrell selection clone. The grapes are hand-harvested, and upon entering the winery, hand-sorted and then gravity fed directly into oak tanks for seven days of cold soaking, then fermented and macerated for 21-27 days on the skins.
Ageing After primary fermentation, the wine is gravity fed to barrel and aged in the wine caves for 21 months, with an additional 14 months aging in bottle prior to release.
Allergens Contains sulphites
