Vinen er strukturert og har intens syrlighet og en fast tekstur. En mineralsk karakter går gjennom vinen og står i kontrast til de røde fruktene. Dette er en seriøs vin som vil belønne lagring, så dr…

Fortsatt strukturert og med sine tanniner har denne vinen potensial til å utvikle seg godt. Solbær- og plommefrukter gir en tett, fruktig karakter. Drikk denne vinen fra 2020.

This is an outlier in the Brian Carter lineup of Euro-style blends, a single vineyard, pure varietal Cabernet. As such, it drills down deeply into the character of Washington terroir as captured in a…

Here's a big, juicy, imposingly rich Syrah that's so stuffed with primary fruit character, it needs time in the cellar to come around. Tasted in January, it's enormous in sweet, jammy blackberries, m…
