Ferrari Carano 2005 Fume Blanc
2005 Ferrari-Carano Fumé Blanc offers a fresh and vibrant fruit entry with a rich mouth feel. Zesty flavors and aromas of tropical fruit, apricot and lemon with a light floral characteristic and a hint of grass are complemented by creamy vanilla notes. Aging partially in stainless steel and older French Oak gives this wine a light-bodied feel complemented by subtle oak character.
Winemaker's Notes
After blending fruit from this impressive vineyard for several years into our Russian River Valley Chardonnay, we were compelled to let the 2004 vintage stand on its own as a vineyard designate. Our inaugural vintage from Ulises Valdez vineyard is an opulent chardonnay—pale gold in the glass and perfumed with white peach and orange peel. The palate is richly textured and mouth-filling, with flavors of ripe red apple, guava and mandarin orange followed by a long, crisp finish.
You will find this to be a very rich and seductive port with the wonderful essence of Zinfandel combining with the silky brandy to create a flavor and mouth feel seldom achieved in California fortified wines.
