Ferrari-Carano 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Ferrari-Carano / Alexander Valley

Just delicious, offering sweetly ripe blackberry, blueberry and cassis flavors, with a rich coating of smoky oak. The all-important tannins are soft and gentle. Really a flamboyant, opulent wine, and probably showing its best in youth.
