The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blend are grown on the steep slopes of Ferrari-Carano’s LookOut Mountain which sits at the junction of Alexander Valley, Knights Valley and Chalk Hill Appellations. This mountain vineyard, soaring in elevation from 500 to 1,400 feet, is comprised of ancient, weathered sandstone and sandy loam soils bearing low-yielding vines.

PreVail West Face is an exquisite, full-bodied wine with aromas of maple, leather, wild berries, and hints of bacon, and violets. On the palate, ripe, bold fruit flavors, with dark chocolate, and plum crostada are supported by ample tannin, with espresso lingering on the finish. This wine’s bold profile will continue to evolve and age beautifully.
