Wine Critic Reviews
Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon sports a deep garnet-purple color, bursting from the glass with bold, flamboyant notions of boysenberries, blackcurrant pastilles, stewed plums and violets plus suggestions of allspice, cumin seed, forest floor and unsmoked cigars with a waft of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is an elegant powerhouse, quaking with the latent energy of restrained black fruit and earthy layers. It possesses seamless freshness and a fantastically long, fragrant earth and floral perfumed finish. It will require a good 3-5 years in cellar, but it will be well worth the wait.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard is a powerhouse. Readers will find a virile Cabernet that shows the more imposing, brooding side of To Kalon. Inky dark fruit, gravel, spice, menthol and new leather all open over time. The tannins are forbidding, though, patience is essential.
