2007 Ferrari Carano Merlot, Sonoma County
Select lots of grapes were chosen from the vineyards in Sonoma County to create this beautifully balanced and full-bodied 2007 Ferrari-Carano Merlot. This is a velvety wine with an aroma of fresh cherries, pomegranate and rhubarb pie, accented by intricately woven flavors of strawberry, brown sugar and crème brulee. This wine delights with a medium-bodied mid-palate, generous and approachable mouth-watering tannins, and a sweet, lively, smooth finish.
This is a very nice blend, comprised of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Ferrari Carano Merlot matches up nicely with this recipe, with the sausage and pepper really complementing one another from recipe to wine. Try this one out, you’ll love it.
