I’d love to know more details, but from chatter on Cellar Tracker it has moved from Mike Smith to Russell Bevan. Both fantastic, IMHO. Would be curious to know the reason for the change, but it does happen from time to time. I went big on 2019 Carter, and really need to hold off on the 2018s, as they are still coming together. The Fortuna has been really good already though. Burned by the O.G., and will have to keep my hands off of the rest.
I’d be curious if Mike made the wines, or Russell for the 2019, and 2020. Or if there was a switchover mid-stream, so to speak. I’m sure the quality will be maintained, maybe slight changes to style, but I’m sure I’ll still be buying!
I’d also love to know your thoughts on the Carter tasting, and how the wines showed. I am not going to get a chance to taste any 2019s unfortunately, so would appreciate it!
I’d be curious to know more about this story as well, if it can ever be told. Big fan of both Mike and Russell. I’ll miss Mike Smith Carters but excited to try Russell Bevan Carters.
