2023 Beckstoffer Las Piedras ‘La Bomba’ Cabernet Sauvignon – 99 pts

Carter Cellars 2023 Beckstoffer Las Piedras 'La Bomba' Cabernet Sauvignon

From the former blocks of Beckstoffer Las Piedras contracted by Schrader Cellars known as 'Colesworthy', 'La Bomba' is a unique expression of clone 337 from the northwestern part of the vineyard right near the dry creek bed. Dense and purple-hued, with loads of black cherry, dark plum and stone fruit matched with mocha, dried herbs and an impression of wet stone. While this is a powerhouse of a wine, loaded with fruit and richness, it still glides across the palate with little sensation of weight until it finishes with silky ultra-fine tannins and intriguing complexity.
