NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Carter Cellars Fortuna Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an exquisite representation of the varietal.Boasting aromas of blackberry and cassis, there is a strong presence of dark fruit on the palate that is complemented by a hint of tobacco and mocha. The tannins are smooth, yet present, creating a generous structure that allows the wine to linger on the palate.
