Product Description
RP97 "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The O.G. is clearly a 25- to 30-year wine. This is profound wine, opulent with loads of spice, pen ink, blackberry and cassis, forward aromatics with floral notes and forest floor. The wine has stunning concentration and a mouth-filling, savory, unctuosity. This is great stuff and delicious already. About 223 cases were made and it finished at 14.9% natural alcohol – about the same as the other wines." RP Dec 2016
JD97 "Ripe currants, kirsch liqueur, toasted spices, and flowery incense all emerge from the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The O.G., a full-bodied, concentrated, yet beautifully balanced Cabernet from the team at Carter. It shows the charming, layered, ripe, seamless style of the vintage beautifully." JD May 2023
AG97 "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The O.G. is the wine where everything comes together. The fruit is ripe, but not too ripe. There is plenty of intensity and richness in the glass, but all the elements fall into place effortlessly. On the palate, the O.G. is sensual, silky and voluptuous, with all the best attributes of this famous site front and center. Crème de cassis, lavender and licorice are some of the many notes that build in the glass in this fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon. The O.G. captures the best of Mark Carter's style. (Drink between 2019-2034)" AG for VM Dec 2016
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
