The 35+ year old vines at Carver set a small crop and ripen at their own pace up on the windswept slope on York Mountain. The beauty of this site is that it produces Cabernet Sauvignon that tastes like the classic Cabernets of old. In the glass aromas of currant, camphor, pencil shavings, forest floor and juniper berries meld together. The palate engages the senses with layers of creme de cassis, blackberry, espresso, and nicely integrated oak. This is a seamless and seductive beast that should delight for many years to come. Melt-in-your-mouth, slow smoked Maha Estate pork ribs would be a pleasure with this wine. Drink 2015-2030.
