Wine reviews
2012 Carter Cellars
Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer The Grand Daddy
Beckstoffer
To Kalon
Vineyard
A riveting wine, with explosive fruit, this shows dense, rich and layered dark berry, mocha, minera l, sage, cedar, espresso and underbrush notes. All the flavors are sharply defined and persistent, leading to a finish that gushes with dark berry details. Drink now through 2030. 272 cases made.–JL
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy is sweet, concentrated and packed with crème de cassis, blueberry, spring flower and graphite characteristics. Full-bodied, opulent, stunningly rich and layered, this majestic wine should provide immense pleasure over the next 15+ years.
