Prevail (by Ferrari-Carano) "West Face" Red Wine 2019 (Sonoma County, CA)

Producer Notes: The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blend are grown on the steep slopes of Ferrari-Carano’s LookOut Mountain which sits at the junction of Alexander Valley, Knights Valley and Chalk Hill Appellations. This mountain vineyard, soaring in elevation from 500 to 1,400 feet, is comprised of ancient, weathered sandstone and sandy loam soils bearing low-yielding vines.

Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points: So ripe and rich it tastes sweet, this chocolaty, oaky, plummy and blackberry-jam-scented wine sips easily and goes down smoothly despite its size. The jamminess subdues the underlying tannins and will help the wine pair with spicy meat dishes, barbecue and aged cheeses.
