Ferrari Carano Cabernet Sauvignon

TASTING NOTES Our Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon comes from mountain-grown fruit in Alexander Valley. Vibrant aromatics of cassis mocha dried cherries mint cola and smoky leather awaken the senses while fullbodied flavors of black cherries and plums generously fill the palate. Lingering notes of toasty caramel round out the finish. VINTAGE NOTES Our mountain vines are grown in shallow rocky low-vigor soil that adds impressive depth and concentration of flavors to the wine. 2014 gave us another great crop of grapes despite a second year of farming under drought conditions. The growing season began with an early bud break after a dry winter. A warm and dry spring was followed by a consistently warm summer leading to elevated temperatures toward the end of August prompting an earlier harvest than the past year. These favorable conditions resulted in wines featuring good color and tannin structure along with concentrated flavors. WINEMAKING NOTES This wine is composed prima
