Carte Blanche 2023 Beckstoffer Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark as night, this wine is nearly opaque purple. It is unapologetically ripe, and intensely perfumed with a dizzying array of aromas like blueberry jam, black cherry liqueur, Christmas spice cake, plus amaro-like spices, all in harmony. Perfectly mature Oakville fruit meets the highest-quality French oak. The wine just won’t quit: Here comes the forceful black fruit, Dark chocolate, mouth coating and powerful on the palate, with a touch of incense for intrigue. This one is bursting at the seams but somehow holds it all together thanks to 2023’s cool season. It’s simply a monumental edition of this wine.
