1992 Ferrari-Carano Reserve Sonoma County (750ml)

"96 out of 100 - The 1992 is the greatest Reserve Red to date. Interestingly, it contains the smallest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (54%), and the highest percentage of Malbec (16%) and Cabernet Franc (11%). It displays a fabulous fragrance of blackcurrants, violets, minerals, licorice, and smoky oak. Splendidly full-bodied, with huge flavor extraction, but no sense of heaviness or overbearing tannin, this large-scaled, massively-endowed, profound example of proprietary red should peak by the middle of the first decade of the next century and drink well for 20-25 years thereafter. Not to be missed when released in several years, it is a knock-out!" - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
