Note di degustazione
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard comes from a mix of clone 337 and clone 4 of Cabernet Sauvignon and was brought up all in barrel. It has a gravelly, earthy minerality as well as medium to full body, a focused, tight vibe on the palate, and classy notes of plums, spice, and graphite. It’s a beautiful wine, and as Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon goes, a smoking value! Drink it any time over the coming 10-15 years.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard is a gorgeous, racy wine loaded with dark red/purplish fruit, lifted floral notes and expressive, sweet spice from the oak. The Fortuna stands out in this range for its mid-weight structure, sensual personality and bright floral notes. Like all of these wines, the Fortuna is rich, supple and textured, but it is not quite as big as some of the other wines in the range. Once again, the Fortuna is a real winner among Carter's offerings.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard rocks up with open-knit blackcurrants, blackberry preserves and black raspberries scents plus hints of dried sage, unsmoked cigars, charcuterie and tilled soil. It is medium to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and loads of freshness on the subdued palate and some chew on the finish.
