2021 Carter Cellars 'Beckstoffer Las Piedras La Verdad' Cabernet Sauvignon

$259.95
(Net Item - no discounts apply)

The 2021 'La Verdad' is an extremely low production wine from the original block of stressed vines on the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard. Inky and dark in the glass, the nose emits a show stopping rush of mouth-watering black cherry and blue fruits. Its palate bursts forth with concentrated dark black and blue fruits, mixed with crushed earth and spicy floral undertones. The underlying structure and minerality result in a muscular, yet well-balanced Cabernet. A full-bodied mid-palate reveals finely integrated rounded tannins that lift the wine and ends with a textured and lengthy finish.
