Wine From Carter Cellars
Mark Carter has been making his own wine under the label Carter Cellars since 1998, the first year Restaurant 301 was honored with the Wine Spectator Grand Award.

We have over 3800 wines on our list, which receives the Grand Award for not only its depth, but also for its quality. Carter Cellars’ Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has been noticed by Wine and Spirit magazine, Wine Spectator magazine, Wine Enthusiast, and Robert Parker, receiving scores as high as 96 points from these industry leaders.

Carter Cellars is now made at our beautiful winery Envy Wines in Napa Valley (Calistoga) California, a joint venture between wine legend Nils Venge and Mark Carter-
