Ferrari-Carano Prevail West Face 2003

Ferrari-Carano Winery

This was my favorite wine of this tasting at Ferrari-Carano this time around. I must really like their 2003 as the 2003 Tresor is a huge favorite of mine (didn't taste it this time). This one, if I recall correctly, is a mix of Cabernet (88%) and Merlot (12%). It's Read more
