Carter Cellars
Carter Cellars produces Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley's most prestigious vineyard sites. The winery sources fruit from Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard and Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard, two of the region's most sought-after parcels. The Grand Daddy, drawn from To Kalon, and La Verdad, from Las Piedras, represent the winery's focus on single-vineyard expression. Both wines have been rated by Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. The Three Kings, also from To Kalon, completes the core portfolio. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon of this caliber demands fruit of exceptional ripeness and structure—qualities these vineyards consistently deliver. Carter Cellars' approach centers on the terroir of its sources rather than winemaking intervention, allowing the mineral and dark-fruit character of each site to define the final wine.
