April 7, 2024 - At age 11, this seems to be right in its drinking window. The palate is full of plums and black currants, with hints of bay leaf and moist earth, followed by moderate tannins. For me, the Fortuna bottling has been a pretty good cab but never approaches the heights of Carter’s To Kalon wines.

December 25, 2020 - Dark currant to blackberry. Some dark chocolate as well. This is big but never crosses the line to excess. Best QPR in Carter lineup. Hesitate to call anything around $100 a value though...

August 29, 2020 - Deep purplish ruby red. Lush nose coated in lavender, black currants and a bit of spices. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. A bit of currants on the palate with spices, perfume and a bit of minerality. Long finish. Drink till 2035.
