Carter Cellars’ winemaking begins with the simple idea of matching the best grapes from world-renowned vineyard sources with purist and non-interventionist winemaking. Under their grower’s watchful eyes and experienced hands, the cultivation of their grapes is an arduous dance that ensures that the grapes they use are optimal for creating their limited production, high quality wines.

“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The Three Kings flows effortlessly from the glass with fantastic scents of crushed black and red currants, boysenberry preserves, and rose oil followed by nuances of Sichuan pepper, dried lavender, and tilled soil. The rich, intense, full-bodied palate has compelling energy with fine-grained tannins and great tension, finishing long and shimmery.”                99 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent, October 2023

“Sourced from the back of the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, the 2021 ‘The Three Kings’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a drop-dead gorgeous wine. It is beautifully perfumed, dark and seductive, driven by aromas of sweet dark currents, black cherries and blackberries which are laced with graphite, violets, crushed gravel, tobacco and sweet exotic spices. On the palate this displays notable power and intensity, backed by a rich, structred, full-bodied texture. It is layered and concentrated with remarkable depth, as it contines to impress with its big, muscular tannins that are beautifully polsihed and nicely integrated, resulting in a gorgeous mouthfeel and a long, enveloping finish. This is a serious wine from Carter Cellars that will provide instant pleasure, as well as a drinking window that will span decades.” 98 points, J. D’Angelo, International Wine Report, September 2023
