Carter Cellars
Fortuna Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Always one of my favorite Carter wines and one of the under the radar gems in this portfolio. Dark, layered and full of character. Just bottled, will be better in time. Tasted during the Vinous Learn Oakville seminar. 93+
