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

The 2022 'La Verdad' is an extremely low production wine from our 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. The first taste is a pleasurable attack on the senses, bursting with concentrated dark black and blue fruits, mixed with crushed earth and spicy floral undertones. Year after year, the underlying structure and earthiness result in a muscular but well-balanced Cabernet. A full bodied mid-palate reveals finely integrated tannins that lift the overall back bone of the wine.
