Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon (2018)

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.

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

Tasting Notes

92 James Suckling
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.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Ferrari-Carano Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is bright and lively. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of enticing black fruits and raspberries. Pair with an old-fashioned, slow-cooked beef stew. (Tasted: March 24, 2022, Rutherford, CA)
