“The Ferrari-Carano Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 comes from our Lookout Mountain ranch in Alexander Valley. Fog drifts over the tops of the coastal mountains and burns off quickly in the morning sunshine, resulting in a warm climate with almost full sun throughout the day – ideal conditions for our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This is a delicious red wine with aromas and flavors of cinnamon, sage, mocha, tobacco, plum, wild berry, dried currants, mint, and toasty nutmeg spice. With a viscous and full-bodied mid-palate and structured, firm, gripping tannins, this wine has excellent depth and a finish that lingers with layers of fruit, spice, and earthy elements.”
