Displaying a similar opaque ruby/purple color, the 2010 Tresor has a broader, richer, more skyscraper-like mouthfeel. It offers pure blackberry and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of incense, vanillin and spice. Full-bodied, rich and impressively endowed, it is a brilliant example of just how well Bordeaux varietals can do in selected Sonoma micro-climates. The fruit is so sweet that it can be appreciated now for its youth and exuberance, but ideally, it will benefit from another 2-3 years in the bottle. It should easily last for two decades.
Ferrari-Carano appears to have the correct formula for Fume Blanc. Perhaps I am a bit sentimental as it was my Mother’s favorite wine, and was the only wine with which I could ever get her slightly buzzed. The red wines include the flagship Tresor, always a blend of their finest lots of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot.
