"The Ferrari-Carano Trésor Red 2012 is a red wine blend of five classic Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot – from the best selection of our vineyards in Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. Aptly named “Trésor” for “treasure,” the grapes are hand harvested from low-yielding vines primarily on our mountain vineyards. Vibrant aromas and flavors of blackberry jam, cassis, cedar, anise, blueberry, spiced rum, coffee, and caramel combine with a full, rich mid-palate with considerable, round tannins. This wine’s upfront silkiness and roundness make for a delicious selection now. This red wine will also drink well for 15-20 years."
