Carter Cellars Beckstoffer to Kalon "The Grand Daddy" Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml
JD(96-98)
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy is mostly Clone 4 from this Grand Cru site in Oakville. Sweet red and black fruits, flowery incense, leather, smoked tobacco, and chocolaty nuances all shine here, and this is full-bodied and voluptuous on the palate, with sweet yet building tannins, a massive core of sweet fruit, terrific overall balance, and outstanding length. It's a classic 2023 from this team that has ripe, opulent fruit yet a solid, firm, structured core that should flesh out nicely with short-term cellaring.

Carter's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy isn't the crusty, cantankerous sort but rather the warm, cuddly archetype you'd want to read to your kids in the recliner by the fire. Ripe black cherries dusted with hints of loamy earth and dried spices appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is creamy and supple, almost too easy to drink. Finishing long, with a subtle touch of warmth, it's an impressive effort.
