2022 Carter Cellars 'Beckstoffer Las Piedras-La BAM' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Along the banks of Sulphur Springs Creek in St Helena lies the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard - a 22 acre site renowned for its naturally low yields and well-draining gravelly loam soil. These slightly less stressed vines are closer to the riverbed and sit on slightly more rocky and well draining soil than the ‘La Verdad’ highlighting the vineyard’s unique topography. Like a smack in the face, 'La BAM', boasts a full rich bold palate of plum and blue fruits infused with graphite, coffee and earthlike undertones. When matched with sweet firm tannins from the best French barrels, this wine ends with a velvety finish that only gets better with age.
