From the back of the Beckstoffer To Kalon vineyard, this wine throws off an amazingly deep ruby color. Offering superb balance and concentration, it is a successful expression of both the richness and power of clone 7. With its fruit forward profile, the wine opens up immediately with spicy aromatics mixed with dark gooseberries and blue/black fruit. The palate is loaded with racy yet rounded firm tannins and waves of decadent fruit. Like all Carter Cellars wines, this wine is approachable immediately, but give this beautiful wine a few years in the cellar to round out and you’ll be rewarded by additional nuances and depth.
