JD97-99 Coming all from Clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings is deep plum/purple-hued and has a deep, powerful, full-bodied style as well as blockbuster-like aromatics of darker currants, fresh plums, iron, smoke tobacco, and gravelly earth. It has beautifully integrated oak, ripe, polished yet not insignificant tannins, flawless balance, and a gorgeous finish.
Estate Notes: From the back of the Beckstoffer To Kalon vineyard, this wine throws off an amazingly deep ruby color. Offering superb weight 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 red 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
