Ferrari-Carano 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

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

Not one of the best Cabs from this venerable winery. Despite a cool vintage, there’s a burnt edge to the blackberry pie filling flavors. Tasted in late 2007, the tannins are very astringent, and shut down the palate. Could show better after 2008.
