2012 Carter Cellars
Cabernet Sauvignon The O.G.
Beckstoffer
To Kalon
Vineyard
The sensational 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The O.G. boasts classic notes of crème de cassis, licorice, incense and a whiff of new oak. Full-bodied with ripe tannin, adequate acidity and beautiful exuberance and personality, it should be drunk over the next 10-15 years.
Amazingly complex, dense and structured, with a framework of dusty, mineral-laced tannins and a similarly tight and dense core of flavors that echo the dark berry and earthy elements. Drink now through 2030. 270 cases made. – JL
