Wine Friday

November 16, 2012

2006 Prevail Back Forty Ferrari-Carano
Cabernet Sauvignon


Thinking a bit about the connection I have with my wine as I often do when I chose a wine to drink.  I thought I would like to have a special wine for this wine Friday.  After a trip downstairs I brought up this wine.  I decided this 2006 was ready to drink.  After deciding to have steak for dinner I thought this was the perfect choice for tonight.

We visited Ferrari-Carano on our October 2010 trip to Sonoma for my second half marathon.  The half took place in Healdburg.  After the half this was the first winery we visited.  Drinking this wine transformed me back to our tasing.  The memory of the gorgeous grounds, the sit sown tasting and holding this special wine while standing by the gorgeous ground.  Feeling so proud of my earlier accomplish of my half and enjoying my rewards.

This wine was our first surge at $85 a bottle.  Certainly one will we remember.  A very nice full bodied complex wine with excellent length.

We also bought
2004 Tresor  Blenad of Cab sav, malbec, petit verdot, cab franc and Merlot
2007 Syrah

We drank the Syrah December 19, 2010 on a ski trip to Vernon.  The boys skied Silver Star and Steve and I enjoyed this bottle while staying warm in the room.
We drank the Tresor at home on New Years Eve 2010.

Drinking all the wines from Ferrari-Carano connected different places, times and memories for me.
