Family feud., Round 2
To Kalon “The O.G” lost to its sibling this. Evening by the slightest of margins. Bad Ass in a glass nonetheless 🙌

This was terrific. Very big and full-bodied with excellent concentration. This one has the stuffing to age a good long while.

Young, but circumstances be as they may...
Had to open one, very deep concentrated dark black fruit. Tannins present & are not overwhelming in this big wine. As always, opened nicely on day 2! Save em' for 3-4 years if you can; gotta love Mike Smith's efforts with all Carter's wines! Cheers!?

Simply stunning!
Carter's "To Kolon" collection is by far one of the best values in Napa. They are as good & in some instances better than his 2013..........& we all know how he and Mike Smith delivered in 2013!!! Get them upon release or they will be instantaneously gone!!
Trust me on this one!

I just think Carter’s 🍷 are awesome. I just wished there bottles were smaller. 2019 still needs decanting for several hrs.
