Product Description
JD100 "Moving to the 2013s, these are all truly special, incredible wines. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings has insanely pure aromatics of cassis, blueberries, crushed violets, and graphite, with this liquid flower-like character. Full-bodied on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and flawless balance, it shows how good this vintage was for Napa Valley. Slightly more concentrated and denser compared to the 2012s, it's certainly in the early stages of its prime drink window and has another 15-20 years of longevity. I love it today, though – this is heavenly juice." JD May 2023
RP97 "The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings shows gorgeous blackberry and blueberry fruit, some white floral notes, a full-bodied, multilayered mouthfeel, fabulous precision, purity and balance, an inky mouthfeel, but nothing heavy or out of balance. This is profound Cabernet Sauvignon from a great, great vintage. Drink it over the next 25-30 years." RP Dec 2015
Robert parker writes, "Carter Cellars has been on a qualitative tear in tastings I’ve done over the last 4-5 years, so it was with great anticipation and high expectations I sat down to taste the 2013s and barrel samples of the 2014s given what Mark Carter had achieved not only in 2012, but even in more challenging vintages such as 2011. Fasten your seatbelts!" Published: Dec 30, 2015
