Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard

Cabernet Sauvignon

Celebrated for its extraordinary depth and exquisite character, our To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from one of the finest “Grand Cru” vineyards in the world. Vines grow slower in this iconic vineyard 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. Our 2022 To Kalon Cabernet Sauvignon possesses an herbal profile with notes of sage and blueberry. Concentrated aromas lead to a subtle intensity on the palate.
