Monday, June 5, 2023 - Quick stop by Envy/Carter last weekend to pick up a couple bottles. To my luck, the 21' Carter lineup was ready to go, thanks Dan and Haley!! On the nose, you'll catch a surprise note of spice over the black fruit. On the palate, it all about the force. Not the iron fist/velvet glove example, but fresh fruit with layered complexity. It's a big wine, but there is polish and depth that makes the wine undeniably classy. These Carter 21's will likely command another set of high scores. The La Verdad and OG were again my favorites, but that Three Kings was also amazing and slightly more approachable at the moment. 97-100pts.

Far outpacing inflation and whatever other macro trend you want to call out! Unfortunately, that means less purchases from me.
