Crafted from hand-selected fruit in Napa Valley, Carter Cellars 'Carter' Cabernet 2022 is a bold yet refined expression of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. This limited-production wine embodies the region’s signature structure and elegance, offering both immediate appeal and remarkable aging potential. Deep purple in the glass, it reveals an enticing bouquet where vibrant black cherries meet graphite, mocha, and a hint of spice, all wrapped in a touch of well-integrated oak.
On the palate, layers of bright fruit unfold alongside rich minerality, seamlessly balanced by racy acidity and polished tannins. The interplay of dark berries, espresso, and subtle earthiness creates a complex yet silky texture, evolving with each sip. A wine of depth and precision, it exudes both power and finesse, showcasing Carter Cellars’ meticulous craftsmanship.
Equally rewarding now or after years in the cellar, this Cabernet is a testament to Napa Valley’s finest terroir. Enjoy it decanted in its youth for a more expressive profile, or allow it to mature for added depth and harmony. Whether savored on its own or alongside a fine meal, it is an unforgettable experience in every glass.
