WINEMAKER NOTES
Aptly named “Trésor” for “treasure,” Ferrari‐Carano presents its finest blend of the five classic Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc – selected from exceptional vineyard blocks in Knight’s, Alexander, Napa, Dry Creek, and Russian River Valleys.
The 2016 harvest began closer to an average start date than in recent years, with the vines producing good yields in the midst of a fourth year of drought in Sonoma County. The vineyards performed well with considerable amounts of rainfall dropping in the late winter and early spring, combined with mild and warmer early spring conditions. Although there were many mornings of heavy fog in late August, most of the summer and early fall were consistently sunny, warm and dry. 2016 was ideal for quality wine grape farming and harvesting at optimal ripeness.
Blend: 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot, & 5% Cabernet Franc
Alcohol: 14.5%

93 POINTS - "Aromas of sweet red fruit, rosemary and ground spice. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Very smoky on the palate. Concentrated and intense, but with some nuance. The acidity is clear and steady, allowing for good definition of the rich, dark flavors. Drink or hold. 71% cabernet sauvignon, 10% malbec, 8% petit verdot, 6% merlot and 5% cabernet franc." - James Suckling
91 POINTS - "The 2016 Ferrari-Carano Tresor Red spins a tale from the Old World with its authentic accents. This wine excels with aromas & flavors of ripe red fruits & dried leaves." - Wilfred Wong
90 POINTS - "This leads with 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, blending in handfuls of Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Tobacco, cedar and oak ride a burly, full-bodied core of soft, round tannins that lengthen on the finish." - Wine Enthusiast

This full-bodied wine is elegant and rich with aromas of cassis, blueberries, pomegranate, mocha and sweet brown sugar that lead to flavors of plum, blackberries and vanilla, finishing with a toasty cardamom spice. Upfront silkiness and roundness make for a delicious wine now and will drink well for 7-10 years.
