carter cellars

Carter Cellars (not to be confused with Carter Estate Winery and Resort in Temecula, CA) was founded in 1998 by Mark Carter, a longtime resident of Eureka, California. Today Mark divides his time between Eureka, Napa Valley and Kentucky. During harvest especially he helps oversee winemaking operations at Envy Cellars which is where Carter Cellars is produced. Envy Winery is co-owned by Mark and winemaker Nils Venge.

Long time industry veterans, Nils and Mark have built strong relationships with growers over the years and source grapes from some of the valley’s most premiere vineyards. Some of these sites (all Napa) include vineyards with instant name recognition, IE., the Beckstoffer managed To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville and Las Piedras in St. Helena.
