Carter Cellars The Haze Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Tasting Notes
An exciting blend of Cabernet this year, The Haze is sourced from vineyards throughout Napa, including the Hossfeld Coliseum
vineyard, vineyards in the heart of Oakville, and a site on the ridge overlooking Calistoga. The Haze has a deep dark purple hue, matched with dark red fruits, tobacco and mocha all wrapped in powerful integrated oak. On the palate, it is has a full-bodied finish with a balanced mouthful matched with firm, rounded tannins. Overall, a fun, fruit forward wine.
"There are 235 cases of the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon The Haze, a 100% varietal from a mix of sites. Cassis, graphite, smoky oak, and a Graves-like scorched earth and smoky character all shine here, and it's full-bodied, has a pure, elegant, layered mouthfeel, sweet yet building tannins, and outstanding length."
