NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Carter Cellars Coliseum Block Cabernet Sauvignon is an intense and rewarding expression of mountain Cabernet Sauvignon.On the nose, tantalizing aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate are complemented by notes of dried herbs, tobacco, and anise. On the palate, this full-bodied wine reveals ripe tannins, lavish layers of black cherry and currant, and a hint of graphite. The long finish is balanced, with lingering hints of blackberry and bell pepper. Enjoy now or cellar for a few more years.
