There are 248 cases of Carter’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The Three Kings, made from clone 7 from that first-growth vineyard in Oakville. This is a supple-textured, blockbuster wine, with notes of Asian spice, licorice, espresso bean, chocolate and oodles of blackberry and cassis fruit. It is fleshy and succulent on the attack and midpalate, very concentrated with velvety tannin and a long, 45+-second finish. This is a beauty and should provide sumptuous consumption for at least another 20 years.
Blackberries, black licorice and currant leaf. Full to medium body and very fine tannins. Wonderful real Napa style.
