2023 Beckstoffer To Kalon ‘The Grand Daddy’ Cabernet Sauvignon

Carter Cellars 2023 Beckstoffer To Kalon 'The Grand Daddy' Cabernet Sauvignon

Called “Magic in a glass” in previous vintages, this block of Beckstoffer To Kalon produced exceptional wines in 2023 as a result of great farming matched with purist style winemaking and exceptional blending. These older clone 4 vines offer our most upfront and instantly appealing wine from this vineyard. Dark black cherry fruit, cassis and toasted baking spice intertwine to create a lavish multi-layered wine that leads to an enormous mid-palate buttressed perfectly by the wine's natural acidity and gripping tannins. Offering a unique amount of ripeness and texture, this is a weightless elegant wine wrapped up in a cloak of raw but refined power. While drinking great now, allow this wine to age several years and watch it reach its full potential.
