Ferrari-Carano 2006 Tresor Red (Sonoma County)
- $58
This is Ferrari-Carano’s most upscale wine, a blend comprised of all five of the famous Bordeaux varieties. It’s as lush and intricate as almost anything out of Napa, with sumptuous blackberry, black currant and cedar flavors. The giveaway that it’s Sonoma comes in the herbaceousness and slightly greener tannins. Now–2013.

Ferrari-Carano 2004 Prevail West Face Red (Alexander Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $55
A blend of Cab and Syrah grown on one of the winery’s mountain vineyards, this first-rate wine demands time in the cellar. Bone dry, it shows dramatic layers of blackberries, currants, plums, dark chocolate, herbs and spices, wrapped in a firmly tannic, complex structure. Has that inimitable feeling of importance, but it would be a shame to pop the cork before late…

Ferrari-Carano 2004 Prevail Back Forty Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $85
Mountain fruit is the key to understanding this 100% Cab. By that is meant a unique combination of firm, astringent tannins and fabulously concentrated blackberry and currant fruit that absolutely demands aging. It’s obvious that the terroir these grapes come from needs an appellation other than Alexander Valley, for there’s nothing soft or herbal going on here…

Ferrari-Carano 2000 Siena Red (Sonoma County)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
Beautiful and soft as an Impressionist painting. Flavors of cherries, black raspberries, spices and herbs are wrapped in rich, easy tannins, coating the palate and finishing ripe but dry. Delicious on its own and immediately drinkable. A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Ferrari-Carano 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)
- $42
Just delicious, offering sweetly ripe blackberry, blueberry and cassis flavors, with a rich coating of smoky oak. The all-important tannins are soft and gentle. Really a flamboyant, opulent wine, and probably showing its best in youth.

Ferrari-Carano 2010 Tré Terre Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Lots to like in this ripe Chardonnay. It has fruit-forward pineapple, kiwi and apricot flavors, brightened with citrusy acidity, and enriched by sweet, smoky oak. A rich, elegant wine to drink now with lamb, ahi tuna or by itself as an appetizer.

Ferrari-Carano 1999 Trésor Red Table Wine (Sonoma County)
- $32
All 5 Bordeaux varieties comprise this complex but young wine. It’s sharp in fresh tannins, with a rich core of sweet black cherry fruit. Needs some big, greasy steak to match it, but should develop gracefully for some time.

Ferrari-Carano 1997 Chardonnay (Sonoma County)
- $22
Almost everything you could ask for. A fine full-bodied Chardonnay that borders on voluptuous. Tremendously ripe and full of Alexander Valley power. Flowery on the nose, with plenty of texture and muscular oak framing the fruit. A very good wine from an excellent Chardonnay vintage.
