Product Description
JD98 "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Three Kings is forward and charming, with full-bodied aromas and flavors of cassis, ripe blue fruits, flowers, and baking spices. Perfectly balanced and elegant, with ripe, integrated tannins, it's another flawlessly put-together 2014 from this team. It's drinking brilliantly today due to its purity and balance and will be drinking brilliantly in another decade or more as well." JD May 2023
JS98 "Blackberries, black licorice and currant leaf. Full to medium body and very fine tannins. Wonderful real Napa style. Drink in 2019 but already a joy to taste." JS Feb 2017
RP97 "There are 248 cases of Carter’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon The Three Kings, made from clone 7 from that first-growth vineyard in Oakville. This is a supple-textured, blockbuster wine, with notes of Asian spice, licorice, espresso bean, chocolate and oodles of blackberry and cassis fruit. It is fleshy and succulent on the attack and midpalate, very concentrated with velvety tannin and a long, 45+-second finish. This is a beauty and should provide sumptuous consumption for at least another 20 years." RP Dec 2016
Robet 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
