Description
Enjoy five bottles of California Cabernet:
- Three 1.5L bottles of Ferrari Carano Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
- Two 3L bottles of Artesa Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2005
The 2005 Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon is beautifully balanced, dense, chewy, and almost opaque. Unmistakable varietal character with intense aromas of ripe dark cherries, bittersweet chocolate, and white pepper. Deep flavors inform this very muscular wine. The 2005 Ferrari-Carano Cabernet reflects the rich fruitiness of the finest mountain grown Alexander Valley Cabernets.
Artesa: Wonderfully exuberant raspberry, cassis and blackberry fruit is complimented with cedar, clove, nutmeg, dark chocolate and vanillin aromas and flavors. An elegant wine with smooth supple tannins, perfect acid balance and a long lingering finsh. This wine is a treat in its youth, but the joyfullness of the fruit combined with its ample tannin structure means this wine will reach its zenith 10+ years after release.
