CARTER CELLARS
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
THE HAZE 2021
NAPA VALLEY
Carter Cellars, a creation born out of Mark Carter’s historic Carter House hotel and his Wine Spectator’s Grand Award-winning wine list, has become synonymous with excellence. Mark’s unwavering dedication to producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa Valley’s top vineyards has produced more than a dozen perfect 100-point scores and a distinguished reputation for crafting captivating and unforgettable wines of unparalleled quality.
The 2021 vintage is the third release of “The Haze” Cabernet Sauvignon, predominantly sourced from the young vines planted in the Fortuna Vineyard, nestled alongside the renowned Plumpjack and Groth estates on the volcanic Eastern slopes of Oakville. Complemented with intensely flavored grapes from Soda Canyon, winemaker Russell Bevan delivers an ideal combination of concentrated Mountain fruit and lush valley-floor fruit.
This wine beautifully embodies the winery’s distinctive house style, showcasing ripe fruit, smooth tannins, and remarkable depth that gracefully lingers through a multi-layered, intricate finish.

“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.”
