Ferrari-Carano
Prevail West Face Alexander Valley Cabernet-Syrah Blend
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
