Product Description
RP96 "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer to Kalon The Grand Daddy is a 202-case cuvée from a block in the Beckstoffer Vineyard that is the last that Carter harvests. Black fruits galore, including blackberry, cassis, blueberry, a full-bodied nose with charcoal embers, camphor and subtle smoke, are followed by a gorgeously proportioned full-bodied wine with fabulous purity and flawless integration of acidity, wood and tannin. Drink it over the next 20+ years." RP Dec 2016
JD96 "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy has a pure, precise, seamless style as well as beautiful notes of crème de cassis, liquid violets, darker currants, and leafy herbs. It doesn't quite have the density of the O. G. or Grand Daddy, but it’s as seamless, pure, and balanced as they come." JD May 2013
JS96 "Sweet tobacco and blueberries with hints of blackcurrant aromas that follow through to a full body. Yet it's not big on the attack. It finishes beautifully with lightly austere tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink in 2020." JS May 2017
Robert Parker writes, "Mark Carter, who is also making pretty sensational boutique bourbon from Kentucky, continues to showcase great Beckstoffer vineyards with his full-throttle winemaking." Published: Dec 30, 2016
