2018 Ferrari-Carano Tresor

2018 Ferrari-Carano Tresor, Bordeaux Red Blend from Sonoma County, California

Critical Acclaim TP94 Tasting Panel;  A dark and aromatic blend of all five Bordeaux varieties. Smooth and ripe, with notes of plum, berries, and spice as well as a nice, complex hint of toasty oak. Long and rich, it’s truly a treasure. 

Bordeaux Blends, One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

Sonoma County, California, is one of the most important wine growing regions in the whole of the United States. Vines have been planted here since the 1850s and, apart from the inevitable hiatus brought about by Prohibition, the county’s relationship with wine has been prolific and unbroken.

Family-owned and operated since 1985, Ferrari-Carano has been a leading producer of world-class, nationally acclaimed wines. From a small, 30-acre plot of grapes to the present 20 estate vineyards, Don and Rhonda Carano’s success is based on their commitment to quality as well as the dedication of the vineyard and winemaking teams to make the finest wines, vintage after vintage. Ferrari-Carano owns vineyards in six appellations: Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, Napa/Carneros, Anderson Valley and Mendocino Ridge
