2015 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon The Grand Daddy Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
12/19/2020 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted for two hours but the wine is still to young. Has tremendous upside however - give it a few more years. Cassis, dark cherry and lots of coco. Well concentrated just needs more time. Potential 95+ |

7/18/2020 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice wine. Well structured and well balanced. Lots of cherry, tobacco and eucalyptus notes. Finishes with flavors of mint - reminded me of an Alexander Valley wine. In a good drink window right now. |

2014 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon The Grand Daddy Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
6/6/2020 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 96 pointsDecanted for three hours - drinking awesome right now. Beautiful perfumed nose, on the palate its full bodied, really well integrated - black cherry, chocolate, some graphite minerality, super long finish. Loved this wine. I wish I had more of this vintage. |

4/10/2020 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 92 pointsI really wanted to love this wine. I opened it for my big 60 bday and tried to prep the wine for optimal performance. I started slow oxing the wine about 24 hours ahead of time. Opened and left the wine in my cellar over night. I did pour a small amount just to get an idea of the wine. About six hours before drinking poured into a regular decanter and left it in my cellar. Great fruit on the nose - it smelled delicious! On the first taste the night before the wine was overwhelmed with a smoky oak taste. I let the wine sit for an hour or so and the smoky taste blew off for the most part. The next day, even after a six hour decant the smoke was still there. The wine is well structured and complex. Good fruit flavors in the mouth and a good finish. Unfortunately I cant give this wine the 98 or 99 points the pros are giving - perhaps I'm drinking the wine to early. I have two more so time will tell. Right now this is just an above average wine and not great as the scores would indicate. We had this wine next to a 2015 Insignia and that wine out performed this wine in my groups opinion. Maybe next time! |

3/21/2020 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 93 pointsI think this is the third or fourth time that I have tasted this wine. I thoroughly enjoyed the wine this time. Blackberry and chocolate notes. The texture is smooth and tannins are soft. Drink now and over the next two years. |

2014 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon The O.G. Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
2/16/2020 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 98 pointsDrank with my friend Dave at Donavan's. Two hour decant while we drank a beautiful Lauren Aubert. On the nose the Carter was very muted. Don't let this deter you - on the palate this wine was stunning. Pure and silky - really well integrated with fine tannins and a beautiful long lasting fruit finish. Enjoy now, but will go for at least another 10 years. |

2016 To Kalon Vineyard Company Cabernet Sauvignon Highest BeautyOakville more |
12/8/2019 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 94 pointsI decanted this wine for over six hours before taking it to dinner with some wine buddies. A very big wine that will obviously age well. Dark fruit like black berry and cherry. Really well structured. My friends that like wine aged were not impressed. Those of us that still like fruit and tannins will like this wine a lot. In ten years this wine will be perfect. |

2014 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Weitz VineyardNapa Valley more |
11/10/2019 - JeffNy1 Likes this wine: 95 pointsOpened this wine with the Wine Berserkers group in San Clemente. I really liked this wine. Really well integrated, lots of dark fruit flavors and super structure. We tasted some great wines including a 14 Macdonald that was decanted for six hours prior. The group consensus was the Carter was runner up to the MAC. I would agree. Still an awesome wine that should give for at least another 5-10 years. 3 people found this helpful, do you?
