Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery, Sonoma County (California) Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Jan 19, 2022

By Norm Roby

 Now part of the Foley Family portfolio, Ferrari-Carano made a name for itself early on with its bold but balanced Fumé Blanc.  Sourced from vineyards in Dry Creek and Alexander Valley, this 2020  maintains that style beginning with zippy green pea, lime and citrus aromas.  Medium full on the palate with a pleasing mouth-coating texture, it picks up lychee and lemon notes along with a touch of oak in its broad flavors.  There’s just enough acidity to add some length to the aftertaste.
