Omschrijving
De 2019 Carter Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy is een indrukwekkende Napa Valley-wijn die afkomstig is van een specifiek perceel binnen de beroemde Kalon-wijngaard, beplant met Clone 4. Deze wijn staat bekend om zijn unieke aromaprofiel, met florale hints, tonen van drop, zwarte kersen en aardse nuances die kenmerkend zijn voor To Kalon. De wijn onderscheidt zich door unieke aroma’s, waaronder florale hints en tonen van drop, naast de karakteristieke zwarte kersen en aardse tonen (loam) die zo typerend zijn voor Kalon.
Dit specifieke blok heeft optimaal geprofiteerd van het oogstjaar, wat resulteert in een rijpe, volmondige wijn die groter, rijker, langer en geconcentreerder aanvoelt dan sommige van Carter's andere bottelingen uit 2019.
De geschiedenis van de Kalon Vineyard:
Het Beckstoffer-gedeelte van de historische originele To Kalon Vineyard in de Oakville AVA werd in 1993 gekocht van Beaulieu Vineyard. Beaulieu had het landgoed in 1940 gekocht van het Crabb-landgoed en noemde het hun Beaulieu Vineyard No. 4. Napa Pioneer Hamilton Crabb plantte de wijngaard voor het eerst in 1868 en sindsdien heeft het enkele van de beste rode druiven van de Napa Valley geproduceerd. Na phylloxera door Beckstoffer van 1994 tot 1997 opnieuw aangeplant met meerdere klonen van Cabernet Sauvignon en Cabernet Franc met moderne trellis en nauwere afstand tussen de wijnstokken, produceert de wijngaard verschillende luxe bekroonde single vineyard wijnen. Deze wijnen met Cabernet Sauvignon zijn onder andere Schrader Cellars, Paul Hobbs, TOR, Realm en natuurlijk Carter Cellars

Carter's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy comes from a parcel planted to Clone 4. The unique aromas include floral hints and whiffs of licorice, plus To Kalon's hallmark black cherries and loam. The vintage treated this block well, yielding a ripe, full-bodied wine that seems bigger, richer, longer and more concentrated than some of Carter's other 2019 bottlings.
Launched by Mark Carter in 1998 with Nils Venge as the winemaker, Carter Cellars has had access to fruit from Beckstoffer's portion of To Kalon since 2000. With that sort of longevity in the vineyard, it means some of the best blocks make it into the fermenters destined for this label. Having multiple cuvées from Beckstoffer's Las Piedras and To Kalon makes things more complicated for consumers than perhaps they need to be, but the wines do all taste slightly different. These 2019 Cabernets were made by Mike Smith, but they were blended and finished by Russell Bevan, who has recently taken over the consulting duties. As much as I admire the work of these two talented winemakers, I can't help but think that having one winemaker's vision and control from start to finish is likely to yield better results, so I'm looking forward to trying future vintages.

From: The 2019 Napa Valley Cabernets: A Deep Dive (Jan 2022)
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The Grand Daddy is rich, powerful and explosive, with soaring aromatics and plenty of the vertical structure that is such a signature of this site. Dark blue/purplish fruit, rose petal, sage, lavender and spice build beautifully over time. I especially admire the aromatic intensity and vibrancy here. The Grand Daddy is a fabulous wine from Mark Carter and winemaker Mike Smith.

This is a stellar set of 2019s from Mark Carter and winemaker Mike Smith. The highlights are pretty obvious, so I will focus my comments on the new and lesser-known wines. There are two new offerings, The Haze, which is mostly young vines from Fortuna, a stunning new Cabernet from Missouri Hopper. Speaking of Fortuna, it is the wine in this range that offers the most quality for the money, in my view. The wines are, as usual, big, opulent and full of richness. Russell Bevan is the winemaker starting with the 2021 vintage. It will be interesting to see where he takes these wines, which have been consistently among my favorites in the more opulent style of Napa Valley.
