<H1>2004 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley -- Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery Shopping Cart</H1> <B>$42.00</B> -- <I>2004 Cabernet Sauvignon</I> <P> <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/fcwinery/images/bottle-cabernet-sauvignon11.jpg" ALIGN=right ALT="2004 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley" NAME="2004 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> Our 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon is friendly and quite approachable with all of the aromas and flavors that are characteristic of a classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Black currant, black cherry and plum are softened by a discernable vanilla flavor fashioned from ageing in American oak. The Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a graceful texture and a polished finish.<br /><br /><b><i>Vintage Notes</i></b><br /><br />Our mountain vines are dry farmed in shallow, rocky, low-vigor soil that add impressive depth and concentration of flavor intensity to the wine. We took advantage of a unique growing season that was characterized by an early start, then a cool spring, followed by a &#8220;hurry up and wait&#8221; start to harvest. A mild October tested everyone&#8217;s patience, but conditions soon improved, and we finished harvest the end of the month.<br /><br /><b><i>Winemakers Notes</i></b><br /><br />This wine is composed of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with small amounts of Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot. Upon entering the winery, the grapes were destemmed and then whole berries were fermented in tank before pressing. Individual lots were moved to barrels for malolactic fermentation, then blended and barrel aged in new American and older French oak for 18 months, allowing for the perfect balance of fruit, tannin, and oak.<br /><br /><b><i>Appellation:</i></b> 90% Alexander Valley; 7% Dry Creek Valley; 2.5% Russian River Valley; .5% Carneros<br /><br /><b><i>Blend:</i></b> 83% Cabernet Sauvignon; 8% Merlot; 7% Syrah; 2% Petit Verdot<br /><br /><b><i>Cooperage:</i></b> 25% new American oak; 75% older French oak <br /><br /><b><i>Release Day:</i></b> January 2007<br /><br /><img height="65" src="https://www.nexternal.com/fcwinery/images/p_glass-red.jpg" width="37" /><b><i>Rhonda's Recipe and Pairing Notes</i></b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/lamb-chops-with-wine-mint-marinade.aspx" target="http://www.ferraricarano.com/wine-food/recipes/summer/lamb-chops-with-wine-mint-marinade.aspx">Grilled Lamb Chops with Wine-Mint Marinade</a><br /><br />The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon matches well with meats containing some fat. It also complements lamb, beef, pork and veal dishes. Medium-flavored cheeses pair nicely with Cabernet Sauvignon.</P> <P> <LI>SKU: 135104 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://shop.fcwinery.com/Category4" TITLE="Library Wines">Library Wines</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product14 TITLE="2004 Chardonnay - Alexander Valley">2004 Chardonnay - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2004 Chardonnay <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product7 TITLE="2004 Reserve Chardonnay - Napa/Sonoma">2004 Reserve Chardonnay - Napa/Sonoma</A> -- 2004 Reserve Chardonnay <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product65 TITLE="2004 Siena - 1.5 L">2004 Siena - 1.5 L</A> -- 2004 Siena 1.5 L <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product135 TITLE="2006 Merlot - 5L">2006 Merlot - 5L</A> -- 2006 Merlot - 5L <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product108 TITLE="2006 Syrah - Alexander Valley">2006 Syrah - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2006 Syrah- Alexander Valley <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product20 TITLE="2002 Sienna - Sonoma County">2002 Sienna - Sonoma County</A> -- 2002 Sienna <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product37 TITLE="2004 Sangiovese - Alexander Valley">2004 Sangiovese - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2004 Sangiovese- Please Call Tasting Room For Orders <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product8 TITLE="2003 Sangiovese - Alexander Valley">2003 Sangiovese - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2003 Sangiovese <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product2 TITLE="2003 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley">2003 Zinfandel - Dry Creek Valley</A> -- 2003 Zinfandel <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product26 TITLE="Merlot- 3.0L">Merlot- 3.0L</A> -- 2002 Merlot - 3.0L <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product67 TITLE="2003 Merlot- 3.0L">2003 Merlot- 3.0L</A> -- 2003 Merlot - 3.0L <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product134 TITLE="2006 Merlot- 3.0L">2006 Merlot- 3.0L</A> -- 2006 Merlot - 3.0L <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product17 TITLE="2003 Merlot - Sonoma County">2003 Merlot - Sonoma County</A> -- 2003 Merlot <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product22 TITLE="2001 Syrah - Alexander Valley">2001 Syrah - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2001 Syrah <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product66 TITLE="Cabernet Sauvignon - 3.0L - 2003">Cabernet Sauvignon - 3.0L - 2003</A> -- Cabernet Sauvignon - Sonoma County - 3.0L <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product27 TITLE="Cabernet Sauvignon - 3.0L - 2002">Cabernet Sauvignon - 3.0L - 2002</A> -- Cabernet Sauvignon - Sonoma County - 3.0L <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product16 TITLE="2003 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley">2003 Cabernet Sauvignon - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product74 TITLE="2004 Tr&#233;sor - Alexander Valley">2004 Trésor - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2004 Trésor <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product57 TITLE="2003 Tr&#233;sor - Alexander Valley">2003 Trésor - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2003 Trésor <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product10 TITLE="2002 Tr&#233;sor - Alexander Valley">2002 Trésor - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2002 Trésor <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product6 TITLE="2001Tr&#233;sor - Alexander Valley">2001Trésor - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2001 Trésor <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product23 TITLE="2000 Tr&#233;sor - Alexander Valley">2000 Trésor - Alexander Valley</A> -- 2000 Trésor <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product24 TITLE="1999 Tr&#233;sor - Alexander Valley">1999 Trésor - Alexander Valley</A> -- 1999 Trésor <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product45 TITLE="2003 PreVail - West Face">2003 PreVail - West Face</A> -- 2003 PreVail West Face <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://shop.fcwinery.com/Product46 TITLE="2003 PreVail - Back 40">2003 PreVail - Back 40</A> -- 2003 PreVail Back 40 </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://shop.fcwinery.com" TITLE="Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery Products">Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.ferrari-carano.com">Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery</A> <BR>Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
