Item Description

Ferrari-Carano 3 Liter Bottle of 2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Signed by Don and Rhonda Carano

The fruit for our 2006 Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon comes primarily from mountain-grown fruit in Alexander Valley. Fog drifts over the tops of the coastal mountains and burns off quickly in the morning sunshine, resulting in a warm climate with almost full sun throughout the day – ideal conditions for our cabernet sauvignon mountain vineyards. With aromas of blackberry syrup, boysenberry, spicy black currant, espresso, and caramel, this wine delights with rich, delicious flavors of Bing cherry, chocolate, toffee and anise. A delicious mid-palate, excellent depth and showy tannins characterize this lovely Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemakers Notes:

This wine is composed of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with small amounts of Syrah and Petit Verdot. The hand harvested grapes enter the gravity flow winery and are hand sorted, then whole berries are gravity fed into tanks for fermenting before pressing. Individual lots were moved to barrels for malolactic fermentation, then blended and barrel aged for 19 months and aged an additional 6 months in bottle, allowing for the perfect balance of fruit, tannin and oak.

One 3L Bottle of 2007 Ferrari Carano Alexander Valley Chardonnay, Signed by Don and Rhonda Carano

The 2007 Alexander Valley Chardonnay is a delicious wine with floral and fruit aromas of orange blossom, citrus, pear, figs, green apple, and a hint of toasted marshmallow and caramel. Generous on the palate, creamy vanilla undertones balance layers of toast and spice on the finish.

Vintage Notes

Grapes came from our estate vineyards in two distinctly different growing regions in Sonoma County: Alexander Valley and Russian River Valley. A mild late spring and summer ensured a healthy canopy, which provided the perfect combination of sunlight and heat penetrating the grape clusters. These conditions allowed the grapes to reach full maturity in both flavor and structure. Harvest was completed early-October.

Winemakers Notes

Over 60 individual Chardonnay lots were either whole-cluster pressed or gently crushed, de-stemmed, pressed and then cold settled for two days in stainless steel tanks before moving to barrels. Aged separately in French oak, the wines completed 75 percent malolactic fermentation and were sur lie aged and stirred every two weeks for ten months.
