Mountain Vineyards

2008 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2008 Ferrari-Carano Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a picturesque representation of the Alexander Valley, showcasing a deep ruby color that hints at its rich character. This wine is full-bodied with a generous structure offering a harmonious balance of well-integrated tannins, which provide a firm backbone without being overwhelming. The acidity is bright and lively, elevating the wine's overall freshness and enhancing its vibrant fruit profile. Expect prominent notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and hints of plum, complemented by undertones of vanilla and spice from oak aging. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderfully crafted wine that is dry yet powerful, making it a superb choice for pairing with hearty meals or simply enjoying on its own.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
