The 2021 'G.T.O' Cabernet Sauvignon is souced from the best barrels, of the best parcles of Carter Cellars holdings in the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. Year after year this wine seems to tops our charts with perfect scores and there is no excption in this vintage, as this wine merits another perfect score. It instantly impresses with its seductive perfumed aromatics, striking purity and remarkable frehness that are impossible to resist. Aromas of sweet dark currents, Crème de cassis and ripe blackberries are accented with graphite, fresh violets, sweet exotic spices and crushed gravel that all come together and explode from the glass. On the palate this pure and seamless, with a gorgeous full body and a wonderful layered, finessed texture. It's beautifully structured and balanced, with outstanding concentration and depth, as layers of delicious sweet ripe dark fruit flavors carry on to the long seamless finish. This is a remarkably pure wine, with a stunning inner perfume and impecable ripeness that is second to none. This is a wine readers will most definetly want to experience if given the chance.
