The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Old Sparky (a magnums-only blend of clone 4 from two separate blocks, clone 6, and clone 337) is another perfect wine. Ridiculous levels of concentration, without heaviness, extraordinary opulence, and amazing exuberance and flamboyance are found in this beauty along with abundant notes of creme de cassis, cedarwood, spring flowers, lead pencil shavings, and a hint of hot pebbles. It also displays outstanding purity, depth, and full-bodied power. There is a strong undercurrent of minerality in all of these wines which sets 2007 apart from other rich vintages such as 2002. The Old Sparky should also age effortlessly for three decades or more.

Incredibly rich and layered, with a profound mix of pure ripe plum, creme de cassis, blackberry, wild berry, spice, red and black licorice, mocha, mineral and fresh-cut flowers - Â?Â?amazing flavors that are pure and balanced, combining power with finesse. Ends with a tapered finish that weaves together the flavors with ripe, polished, yet firm tannins.
