Ferrari-Carano 2007 Prevail Back Forty Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Prevail Back Forty
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Ferrari-Carano / Alexander Valley

Made from mountain grapes, this is an extraordinarily rich, concentrated young Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s marked by classic varietal flavors of blackberries, black currants, dark chocolate and cassis liqueur. A minor quibble is that it’s too soft and melted for further development, but it scores high on the deliciousness scale.
