The Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard consistently produces outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2015 vintage is no exception. Its rich flavors and elegant structure make it a sought-after choice for wine enthusiasts and collectors alike. It is one of 6 'Heritage" vineyards farmed by the famed Vineyard Mgr. Andy Beckstoffer that have been producing continuously for 150 years.
Winemaker Notes
The legendary vineyard situated on the Oakville bench is farmed by both row and vine so we can endow the fullest expression of the site. Presenting an appearance of opaque purple color, enormous complexity and layered aromatics open with black raspberry, anise, and intonations of cigar leaf and savory tar. Wild blackberry and currant present a focused palate highlighted by mocha and dried thyme. The full-bodied texture and balanced acidity are surrounded by opulent and voluptuous tannins from start to finish making this a readily approachable wine that pleases the palate.
Consider complementing with duck confit cassoulet, steak frites with béarnaise, or spicy mussel cioppino. Serve at 50°-55° F.
