-- 2003 PreVail Back 40
Introducing Ferrari-Carano's Newest Endeavor: PreVail was born out of Don Carano's desire to make a great Cabernet Sauvignon from Ferrari-Carano's two mountain vineyards. A project that began in 1996 with the planting of select French clones on two different, rugged mountain vineyard sites has resulted in remarkable wines of profound character, complex with intense flavors, yet graceful and balanced; wines which truly bring honor to the Mountain Estate vineyards from which they are born.
"Sumptuous aromas of white chocolate, dried herbs, and loamy soil in its full-bodied, expressive style. With lovely fruit, texture and sweet tannin."
Robert Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate, 91 Points
The Wine
A classic Bordeaux-style wine, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes are grown on low-yielding vines on a 40 acre block on the back side of RockRise Mountain in Alexander Valley. Affectionately called Back Forty, the wine displays deep aromatics of ripe blackberry and cherry with a rich mouthfeel that is beautifully concentrated and supple with a long, lingering smooth finish.
