These two whites from Sonoma County’s Ferrari-Carano have been late arrivals, however simply because it’s winter doesn’t imply you’ll be able to’t get pleasure from white wine, does it? Let’s dive in.
2022 Ferrari-Carano Chardonnay Sonoma County – Unctuous and boldly fruity, with overtones of cooked apples and tinned pears. Vanilla notes are significantly sturdy right here, however they discover a candied high quality that comes throughout as barely synthetic. The end evokes cotton sweet with a slight lychee bent. It’s totally drinkable, however one thing feels off to me right here. B- / $27
2022 Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc Sonoma County – Brilliant and effusive, although sweeter than I anticipated to seek out in a California sauvignon blanc. A postmodern composition evokes pineapple and lemon curd, with a creamsicle physique that rolls round on the tongue, eschewing the biting acidity of many a sauvignon blanc, changing it with light notes of vanilla and guava.
