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.

98 Points International Wine Report

”This wine is absolutely fascinating. It begins with a captivating array of aromas, featuring blueberries, ripe blackberries, and dark cherries, intertwined with floral notes of violets and intriguing hints of exotic spices. The nose is further enriched by layers of mocha, graphite, and crushed gravel, imparting a profound earthiness that enhances the overall bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and impeccably polished, boasting a ripe, sweet core that showcases its density and concentration. The opulence and depth are remarkable, yet the wine remains beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity that adds a vibrant lift. The finish is long and precise, with echoes of dark fruit, exotic spices, and subtle graphite that deepen its complexity. This wine is truly exceptional, standing out as one of the finest expressions from Beckstoffer To Kalon in this vintage, offering an experience that is both breathtaking and memorable.”
