Ferrari-Carano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma, California, United States 2018

Description

Winery Notes:

Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 4% Petit Verdot

This wine is full-bodied with layers of plum, cedar, sage, and smoky leather. Elegant, round tannins and a touch of vanilla with toasty caramel linger on the finish.
It pairs well with roasted, broiled, or barbecued game and red meats such as lamb and beef, as well as pork and veal. Medium and strong-flavored cheeses, such as blue cheese or sharp cheddar, also pair nicely with this wine. 

James Suckling 92

A cool nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, pine and ripe red cherry. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Well-structured palate with balanced acidity that articulates the dark fruit and spice. Cardamom and paprika. Sustainable. Best after 2023.

Wine Enthusiast 93

The classic varietal flavors come sailing through in this medium-bodied, well-balanced and appetizing wine. Scents of toasted oak, black currants, dark olives and anise lead to focused black fruits and tangy acidity on the palate. Best through 2030.
