WINE DESCRIPTION
Crafted from grapes grown on the steep slopes of Ferrari-Carano's LookOut Mountain, at the intersection of Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, and Chalk Hill Appellations, this wine embodies the essence of this unique terroir. Situated at elevations ranging from 500 to 1,400 feet, the ancient, weathered sandstone and sandy loam soils nurture low-yielding vines, resulting in a remarkable blend.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
PreVail West Face is a luscious, full-bodied wine that delights the senses with a medley of toffee, cassis, blackberry, mocha, nutmeg, and vanilla aromas.Its palate is a harmonious blend of plum galette, warm baking spices, and a subtle hint of leather, all underpinned by robust tannins. This wine's confident character promises a graceful evolution with age.
Pair PreVail West Face with a variety of dishes, including braised, roasted, or barbecued meats like chicken, red meat, lamb, or pork. It also complements pasta dishes, hearty stews, and well-aged cheeses with bold flavors, such as Taleggio, for a truly delightful dining experience.
