"The Ferrari-Carano Prevail West Face Red 2012 is a delicious, full-bodied red wine with lush aromas and flavors of boysenberry, black cherry, spice, cedar, licorice, coffee, and dark chocolate. Exquisite depth and lingering, firm tannins provide textural proof of this wine’s ageability.

This red wine will pair well with braised, roasted, or barbecued meats such as chicken, red meat, lamb, or pork. Pastas, stews, or well-aged medium and strong-flavored cheeses, such as Tellagio, also pair nicely."
