1 person found it helpfulJun 11th, 2017Bright 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

Feb 8th, 2015100% Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. Very complex. Dark ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, black currant, baking spices and dark chocolate. Nice hint of toasted oak on the long and lingering finish. Totally New World in style. Smooth tannins and excellent mouthfeel. Full bodied and juicy. Tannins have relaxed with bottle age. Quite expressive. High quality.
