2023 Carter Cabernet Sauvignon The Haze Napa Valley

In a region where reputation can precede reality, The Haze stands as proof that mastery needs no introduction. Crafted by a team responsible for more than a dozen perfect scores, the 2023 release reflects everything Carter Cellars has built its legacy upon: power without excess, detail without restraint, and a sense of place that whispers through every sip. 

Under the direction of winemaker Russell Bevan, the fifth vintage of The Haze emerges as a masterclass in controlled intensity. Bevan approaches texture the way a sculptor works with marble: patiently, precisely, revealing power without losing beauty. The 2023 vintage showcases his signature touch, with saturated fruit lifted by freshness, and tannins that glide smoothly.

Composed entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon, The Haze radiates with the hallmarks of the Carter Cellars house style: deep, concentrated fruit, seamless texture, and a finish that unfolds deliberately. It’s the kind of wine that reminds you why this valley remains at the heart of the world’s Cabernet conversation. A place where craft meets conviction, and where a producer like Carter Cellars continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the glass.

“There are 235 cases of the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon The Haze, a 100% varietal from a mix of sites. Cassis, graphite, smoky oak, and a Graves-like scorched earth and smoky character all shine here, and it’s full-bodied, has a pure, elegant, layered mouthfeel, sweet yet building tannins, and outstanding length.”

“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon The Haze, which includes 7% Merlot, is another tiny production release, with only 186 cases made. It has a beautiful nose of ripe, mint-laced blue fruits, leafy tobacco, graphite, and spring flowers. Deep purple-hued, concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and elegant on the palate, it has a good spine of acidity, ripe tannins, and a great finish. The power of the vintage is present, yet it has a pure, pretty, balanced character. It’s a beautiful wine as well as a smoking value from Napa’s 2021 vintage.”
