Ferrari-Carano 2018 Sky High Ranch Pinot Noir (Mendocino Ridge)
#48 Top 100 Cellar Selections 2020
Return to List This wine wraps beautiful, concentrated fruit and dark-spice flavors in a velvety texture. Focused flavors of black cherry and wild raspberry are accented with clove and cassis on the expansive palate and lingering finish. Best through 2025. Jim Gordon
