Bright red and black currants swim in a cedary, mint-misted, vanilla and caramel with rum-soaked, golden raisin. Balanced acidity inside a dense framework of licorice, black currant and blackberry (likely due to the additional spritz from cab franc?) with a soft black olive note persisting throughout. Long, pleasant finish. Best wine I have had from this producer. Winemaker wine to be sure, but deftly handled! #ferraricarano #backforty #californiawine — 10 years ago
Balanced, with a nice texture. #sonoma #ferraricarano #chardonnay #delectableapp — 9 years ago
Another monster offering from Ferrari-Carano. Thought I should try this after the success of the Back Forty. Really big syrah note after opening, and seemed like a candidate for decanting, but came together quickly, for a very tasty and balanced glass. Ripe and rich, but conversely earthy and complex. Big blackberry tempered by currant, violets and sweet maduro tobacco notes, without becoming too jammy, or too verbose. #westface #ferraricarano #cabernetsyrah — 10 years ago
