Carter Cellars

A well-known critic once described our wines as “swoon inducing.” While we’re not sure exactly where this quality originates – perhaps in the earth and sun of our low yield vineyards, or in the hands of our masterful blenders and winemakers – whatever it is, it gives Carter Cellars wines the ability to stir the passions and overwhelm the senses.

The Carter Cellars 2023 vintage possesses our signature qualities of incredible finesse and verve, alongside a deep and true representation of the vineyards from which they were sourced. These wines showcase some of the best of what Napa has to offer: delicious ripe fruit and seasoned tannins all buttressed with balanced acidity and structure.

For this offering we are releasing three new and exceptional wines and reoffering three other wines, that received  100 to 97 point  scores from world renowned critics. Our newest single vineyard offering out of the Las Piedras Vineyard, “La Bomba’ is from the former Schrader Cellar blocks that they called the ‘Colesworthy’ – loaded with complex flavors of black cherries, dark plums and stone fruit. From the Beckstoffer Bourn vineyard we have a 96 point wine that is both hedonistic yet complex, nuanced with lively blue and black fruit matched with wild flowers herbs and chocolate undertones. Additionally, we have crafted another Red Blend wine called, The Daze. Equal parts Merlot and Cabernet, The Daze offers black cherries, leather and graphite intermixed with savory herbs. It’s full-bodied, ripe, and layered on the palate, with a textured mouthfeel, integrated oak, and ripe tannins that carry to a great finish. MORE DETAILS
