Tasting notes
Primarily Clone 6 from Block D2, Carter's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The GTO is sold in magnum format. Accents of mocha and roast meat join black cherries in this full-bodied, concentrated effort. Powerful, dense and richly tannic, with a lingering finish, this age-worthy effort seems destined for up to 30 years of life in the cellar.

Lastly, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The G.T.O. is released only in magnums and comes from a selection from the three To Kalon parcels, with the base consisting of Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon. It had some big shoes to fill coming after The O.G. cuvée, but it doesn't miss a beat with its dense purple hue, extraordinary crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, a deep, layered mid-palate, ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and complex graphite, smoked tobacco, dark chocolate, and crushed stone aromatics. A brilliant, layered, multi-faceted wine that has everything, it deserves 4-5 years in the cellar and will evolve for 30-40 years.
