Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon
First planted in 1868, To Kalon is one of the finest “Grand Cru” vineyards in the world. Our wines are crafted from the heart of this iconic vineyard where the vines grow slower and provide a full canopy every year. Influenced by the cooler conditions and longer hang time, the harvest is usually around two weeks later than our other vineyards. These wines are celebrated for their extraordinary depth and exquisite character. Soaring aromatics, deep concentration, rich and seamless texture, and a finish that grips tightly, promising long aging potential.

I was able to taste two samples of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lithology Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, one fermented in concrete and the other fermented in French oak. Both showed brilliantly, with wonderful purity of fruit, the dense, concentrated style of the vintage, and just about flawless balance. As with most top 2021s, short-term cellaring is going to be the name of the game.
