This low production 100% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from hand selected fruit out of our best vineyards. This is a classical Napa Cabernet in both structure and elegance, and while delicious in its youth, should be cellared to afford ideal integration. Boasting a purple color and and dense flavors of black cherries, graphite and mocha matched with a well-integrated oak profile. On the nose, lively fruit dances with minerality and spices to make a signature profile that will only improve with time. This full-bodied, layered, racy wine showcase both the purity and elegance -  a wine that is both great for cellaring or drinking right now.

95 Points - International Wine Report
The 2020 ‘The Carter’ is an immense, towering wine from Carter Cellars in this vintage. This decadent wine displays a dark inky color and offers profound aromas of blueberry pie, black cherries and boysenberries which are joined by exotic spices, dark chocolate, loam, herbs and licorice that all come together. On the palate this is full-bodied, layered and opulent, with impressive concentration and depth. This doses out generous amount of dark fruits that come together with spices and dark bittersweet dark chocolate which expand through the enveloping finish. This is a massive wine from Carter Cellars with tons of power and depth, while impressive now, it should offer a drinking window that spans over a decade.
