2005 Trésor - Sonoma County [ $55
] BUY THIS WINE
Ferrari-Carano presents its finest blend of the five classic Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot – from the best selections of our vineyards in Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. Aptly named “Trésor” for “treasure,” the grapes are hand harvested from dry-farmed, low yielding vines primarily on our mountain vineyards. Delicious aromas of ripe blackberry and currant from the Cabernet Sauvignon pair with the provocative notes of boysenberry and cherry cobbler from the Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. With a full bodied and richly-textured tannin profile, this blend exudes a concentrated palate of intense red and black berries, cinnamon, chocolate, espresso, and vanilla. Upfront silkiness and roundness make for a delicious wine now and will drink well for 7-10 years.
