The Carter Cellars Hossfeld Coliseum Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, crafted from Napa Valley’s rocky, volcanic Hossfeld Vineyard, is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend that exudes intensity and sophistication. The bouquet offers a rich array of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, layered with graphite, spice, and subtle oak, underscored by a pronounced minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity providing structure to a concentrated fruit profile. Aged for 22 months in French oak, the wine delivers a refined, lingering finish with exceptional aging potential, capable of evolving for decades. Ideal for pairing with grilled steaks, game, or aged cheeses, this Cabernet reflects Carter Cellars’ artisanal approach and small-lot winemaking. The 2015 vintage, known for its richness and balance, showcases Hossfeld Vineyard’s bold terroir, offering a powerful yet elegant Napa red. This wine is a collector’s treasure, combining depth and complexity with a refined structure, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated expression of Napa Valley’s viticultural heritage.
